The increased global linkages promote economic growth in the world through two key mechanisms: the division of labor and the international spillovers of knowledge.

My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still.

Look to make your course regular, that men may know beforehand what they may expect.

Francis Bacon

Knowledge comes by taking things apart, but wisdom comes by putting things together.

John A. Morrison

Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.

Saint Francis of Assisi

That men in armour may be born With serpents' teeth the field is sown; Rains mould, winds bend, suns gild the corn Too quickly ripe, too early mown. I scan the quivering heads, behold The features, catch the whispered breath Of friends long garnered in the cold Unopening granaries of death, Whose names in solemn cadence ring Across my slow oblivious page. Their friendship was a finer thing Than fame, or wealth, or honoured age, And--while you live and I--shall last Its tale of seasons with us yet Who cherish, in the undying past, The men we never can forget.

Charles Kenneth (C.K.) ScottMonc

What? A great man? I only ever see the ape of his own ideal.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me like I would die for it.

Quentin Tarantino

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.

Proverb

If the Bahreini royal family can have an embassy, a state, and a seat at the UN, why should the twenty-five million Kurds not have a claim to autonomy? The alleviation of their suffering and the assertion of their self-government is one of the few unarguable benefits of regime change in Iraq. It is not a position from which any moral retreat would be allowable.

Christopher Hitchens

We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquility.

Kwame Nkrumah

I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it.

Paul Walker

Whether joy or sorrowful, the heart needs a double, because a joy shared is doubled and a pain that is shared is divided.
