Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage.

What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.

Sylvester Stallone

Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.

Michael Eisner

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity: no really self-respecting woman would take advantage of it.

George Bernard Shaw

To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.

George MacDonald

To restore the trust of the people, we must reform the way the government operates.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The independence of the economic sphere was a tenet of faith with Liberalism.

Francis Parker Yockey

I didn't miss training because it had become so painful for me. I filled the void pretty quickly as I went straight into coaching and it was great I had to start learning all over again, and then when I went into TV I knew nothing about it so I had to start from the very beginning.

Jo Durie

Don't give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can't express them. Don't analyze yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.

Evelyn Waugh

There is hardly any one so insignificant that he does not seem imposing to some one at some time.

Charles Horton Cooley

Bulls don't read. Bears read financial history. As markets fall to bits, the bears dust off the Dutch tulip mania of 1637, the Banque Royale of 1719-20, the railway speculation of the 1840s, the great crash of 1929.

James Buchan

I have heard the languages of apocalypse, and now I shall embrace the silence.

Neil Gaiman

You resent death. You regret death. But as for your own life, you know perfectly well that no one can threaten it at all. Death is something that happens to someone else.

Orson Scott Card
