I had no idea that he was going to write that, but I've always believed that insecurity was what would keep you always in your innocence, no matter what the business did.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

Wayne Rooney

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance -- the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it ;better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.

Thomas Carlyle

Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. The more we seek gratitude, the more reason the angels will give us for gratitude and joy to exist in our lives.

Terry Lynn Taylor

Second, there are two problems with respect to mobile homes in particular. One is we obviously don't want to put them in a flood plain, because if there's another flood, you're going to lose the mobile home.

Michael Chertoff

Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.

Jim Morrison

Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them: they can be injured by us, they can be wounded; theyknow all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence.

George Eliot

Courage must come from the soul within,The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad.You were born with all that the great have had,With your equipment they all began,Get hold of yourself and say: I can.(Recited by Dr. George Washington Carver during his commencement address at Selma University, Selma Alabama on May 27, 1942)

Edgar A. Guest, from the poem Eq

It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Gabrielle Union

One little bird not larger than a sparrow, it may have been a Phalarope, would alight on the turbulent surface where the breakers were five or six feet high, and float buoyantly there like a duck, cunningly taking to its wings and lifting itself a few feet through the air over the foaming crest of each breaker, but sometimes outriding safely a considerable billow which hid it some seconds, when its instinct told it that it would not break. It was a little creature thus to sport with the ocean, but it was as perfect a success in its way as the breakers in theirs.

Henry David Thoreau, The Beach A

So many schools are getting rid of music programs and it's really sad because I know that when I started singing and stuff it was something that I always wanted to do and I never believed in myself to be able to do it.

Hilary Duff

Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticized anyway.

Eleanor Roosevelt
