However, I wasn't very good at the sciences, or didn't have a lot of help in the sciences or something but certainly didn't set science for my A level. And when I came to take my A levels I didn't get a good enough result to go to University.

...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.

Stephen King

Earl Nightingale

So what it boils down to, in my humble opinion, is that we need to support the arts in schools, and at every other level in the education of children.

Phil Lesh

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

William Shakespeare

Death is for many of us the gate of hell; but we are inside on the way out, not outside on the way in.

George Bernard Shaw

It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.

Dave Barry

Life is full of confusion. Confusion of love, passion, and romance. Confusion of family and friends. Confusion with life itself. What path we take, what turns we make. How we roll our dice.

Matthew Underwood

Joy is a subtle elf; I think one's happiest when he forgets himself.

Cyril Tourneur

You're alone in your ideas, because you're the only one who knows what's possible.

Bethenny Frankel

The word of God is God, and therefore has to be revealed to you by God. When God's Holy Spirit reveals to you the meaning of His word, then you will recognize the truth of His word.

Bethany Kennedy Scanlon

I love to mix it up. I love to keep doing different things.

Clive Owen

Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society.

Thomas Paine
