Intimate or drastic elements in the work of others are untouchable and should not be commented upon even in their absence. Private conflicts, quarrels, sentiments, animosities are unavoidable in any human group. It is our duty towards creation to keep these in check in so far as they might deform and wreck the work process.

...On they come, with the old swinging route step and swaying battle flags. In the van, the proud Confederate ensign. Before us in proud humiliation stood the embodiment of manhood; men whom neither toils and sufferings, nor the fact of death could bend from their resolve; standing before us now, thin, worn, and famished, but erect, and with eyes looking level into ours, waking memories that bound us together as no other bond; was not such manhood to be welcomed back into a Union so tested and assured? On our part not a sound of trumpet more, nor roll of drum; not a cheer, nor word, nor whisper or vain-glorying, nor motion of man, but an awed stillness rather, and breath-holding, as if it were the passing of the dead!

Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

Bruce Springsteen

Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.

Thomas Carlyle

There must be those among whom we can sit down and weep and still be counted as warriors.

My salary situation at 'Morning Joe' wasn't right. I made five attempts to fix it, then realized I'd made the same mistake every time: I apologised for asking.

Mika Brzezinski

All greatness is unconscious, or it is little and naught.

Thomas Carlyle

Having a track record to live up to and the history of successes had become a hindrance. It becomes harder to break out of what people expect you to do.

Paul Simon

I knew a girl that was so ugly that... She looks like she came in second in a hatchet fight!

Rodney Dangerfield

To look and feel my best, I watch my calories and exercise.

Vystup na prvy schod s vierou. Nemusis vidiet cele schodisko. Jednoducho vystup na prvy schod.
