I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will.

Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.

Winston Churchill

Not failure, but low aim is sin.

Benjamin E. Mays

The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.

Rene Magritte

My old teacher's definition of poetry is an attempt to understand.

Thom Gunn

You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.

Larry McMurtry

The first mistake in public business is the going into it.

Benjamin Franklin

Do not fear mistakes -- there are none.

Miles Davis

If this is my day of harvest, in what fields have I sowed the seed, and in what unremembered seasons?

Kahlil Gibran

And I felt closer to you. Because you knew me so much better than I'd realized - and still loved me.

Rosamund Lupton

There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now. To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more. How can I surrender more? How can I bring him more glory? It's a fight. But it's one I'm going to keep fighting.

Jeremy Lin

The Left Elite only pretend to be concerned about what's best for everyone else because it is the most effective way to manipulate you and your children into their abyss.

Tammy Bruce

Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.

Wayne Dyer
