It's just like being a father; you got to show them love and you got to show them the path. I don't like this role-model stuff, though.

Although most of us know Vincent van Gogh in Arles and Paul Gauguin in Tahiti as if they were neighbors -- somewhat disreputable but endlessly fascinating -- none of us can name two French generals or department store owners of that period. I take enormous pride in considering myself an artist, one of the necessaries.

James A. Michener

A man's got two shots for jewelry: a wedding ring and a watch. The watch is a lot easier to get on and off than a wedding ring.

John Mayer

It is better that some should be unhappy than that none should be happy, which would be the case in a general state of equality.

Samuel Johnson

The first step is to fill your life with a positive faith that will help you through anything. The second is to begin where you are.

Norman Vincent Peale

Treat your family like guests and your guests like family.

Judy Baer

Science has only one commandment: contribution.

Bertolt Brecht

It's pretty scary to know how quickly time flies.

James Wan

When we teach ourselves and our children discipline, we are teaching them and ourselves how to suffer and also how to grow.

M Scott Peck

Uma virtude deve ser nossa invenção, nossa defesa e nossa necessidade pessoais: tomada em qualquer outro sentido, não passa de um perigo. Aquilo que não é uma condição vital é prejudicial ? vida: uma virtude que não existe senão por causa dum sentimento de respeito pela ideia de «virtude», como Kant a queria, é perigosa. A «virtude», o «dever», o «bem em si», o bem como carácter da impersonalidade do valor geral - quimeras onde se exprime a degenerescência, o último enfraquecimento da vida, a chinesice de Conisberga.

Friedrich Nietzsche

My mother told me on several different occasions that she was livin' her dream vicariously through me. She once said that I was getting' to do all the things that she would have wanted to have done.

Buck Owens

You give loyalty, you'll get it back. You give love, you'll get it back.

Tommy Lasorda

Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.

Friedrich Nietzsche
