Before I judge anything, first I ask, is it true about myself?

Back in the '70s, like one of my favorite movies ever was 'The Bad News Bears', and that was a kids' movie, but I don't think of it that way. I think of it as just a great movie because Walter Matthau was so funny and so harsh with those kids.

We need your help. I need your help. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important.

Jim Valvano

True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.

Albert Einstein

If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men's failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal's natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?

William Makepeace Thackeray

What was the point of being able to forgive, when deep down, you both had to admit you'd never forget?

Jodi Picoult

The most important thing about motivation is goal setting. You should always have a goal.

Francie Larrieu Smith

Feeling is its own law and truth.

Martin Firrell

Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.

JeanPaul Sartre

I would rather have strong enemies than a world of passive individualists. In a world of passive individualists nothing seems worth anything simply because nobody stands for anything. That world has no convictions, no victories, no unions, no heroism, no absolutes, no heartbeat. That world has rigor mortis.

Criss Jami

Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything. So that self-love is the basis of all love.

Thomas Traherne

The successful Accelerated Reader is able to read larger than normal blocks or bites of the printed page with each eye stop. He has accepted, without reservation, the philosophy that the most important benefit of reading is the gaining of information, ideas, mental picture and entertainment-not the fretting over words. He has come to the realization that words in and of themselves are for the most part insignificant.

Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen.
