The most important part of my religion is to play guitar.

The heart which finds life in material wealth is usually certain to go farther and seek for more in the satisfaction of base and sullen appetites.

George A. Smith

I talk to women's groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted, of being different, of not having a man, all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her.

Olympia Dukakis

There are just so many stories that are buried on family trees.

Henry Louis Gates

An education which does not cultivate the will is an education that depraves the mind.

Anatole France

No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.

Hannah Arendt

I wish to say to you that the life of an enlightened people and a vibrant nation cannot be measured by the life of an individual. A successful person is one who manages to lay down a new stone, a brick that would help firm up his nation's existence.

King Hussein

Manifesting is a lot like making a cake. The things needed are supplied by you, the mixing is done by your mind and the baking is done in the oven of the universe.

Stephen Richards

I don't believe in fad diets.

Jenny Craig

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

B. F. Skinner

What we must decide is perhaps how we are valuable, rather than how valuable we are.

Edgar Z. Friedenberg

Poets wish to profit or to please.

Horace

Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.

James Allen
