The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.

I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved.

Ted Stevens

The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.

Harvey S. Firestone

Many of the phenomena of Winter are suggestive of an inexpressible tenderness and fragile delicacy. We are accustomed to hear this king described as a rude and boisterous tyrant; but with the gentleness of a lover he adorns the tresses of Summer.

Henry David Thoreau

The strongest arguments prove nothing so long as the conclusions are not verified by experience. Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

Roger Bacon

Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?

Marilyn Monroe

Estelle Morris

She...can talk brillantly upon any subject provided she knows nothing about it.

Oscar Wilde

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.

Pico Iyer

It is the duty of a doctor to prolong life and it is not his duty to prolong the act of dying.

Thomas Horder

You can have the best technology in the world, but if you don't have a community who wants to use it and who are excited about it, then it has no purpose.

Chris Hughes

There's nothing more inspiring than the complexity and beauty of the human heart.

Cynthia Hand

Selfishness, eager for a heaven of enjoyment, is quite a different thing in the soul from love and purity and truth, yearning together for what is their natural element.

William Mountford
