John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.

Love is one of the true mysteries,' he said at last. 'The truest and the deepest of all. One thing, Maerad: to love is never wrong. It may be disastrous; it may never be possible; it may be the deepest agony. But it is never wrong.

Alison Croggon

I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.

Pearl Buck

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.

Margaret Young

I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.

Emily Procter

You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.

Donald Rumsfeld

Tolerance, compromise, understanding, acceptance, patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

Cee Lo Green

Cosmic Ordering success sticks to you like mud to a blanket.

Stephen Richards

Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

Oscar Wilde

When we start deceiving ourselves into thinking not that we want something or need something, not that it is a pragmatic necessity for us to have it, but that it is a moral imperative that we have it, then is when we join the fashionable madmen, and then is when the thin whine of hysteria is heard in the land, and then is when we are in bad trouble.

Joan Didion

At any rate, I am convinced that He God does not play dice.

Albert Einstein

They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.
