You know, I get much more Jewish in Israel because I like the way that religion is done there.

Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

Silence is more eloquent than words.

Thomas Carlyle

If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron

The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.

Karl Kraus

I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.

Stella McCartney

With participation in politics so low at the moment I think Christians should ensure their views are represented at all levels and not leave it to others.

Iain Duncan Smith

When you're in the muck you can only see muck. If you somehow manage to float above it, you still see the muck but you see it from a different perspective. And you see other things too. That's the consolation of philosophy.

David Cronenberg

What really fascinates me is this need that is so strong now that if you read a work of the imagination you instantly have to say, 'Oh, what this really is is so-and-so,' reducing it to a simple formula.

Doris Lessing

No woman can be handsome by the force of features alone, any more that she can be witty by only the help of speech.

Langston Hughes

To me, the definition of focus is knowing exactly where you want to be today, next week, next month, next year, then never deviating from your plan. Once you can see, touch and feel your objective, all you have to do is pull back and put all your strength behind it, and you'll hit your target every time.

Bruce Jenner

One guy wants to help the rich the other the poor neither one works since raising taxes causes instability. They should do neither and eliminate everything from the budget until we're making more then we're spending. It's not rocket science.

James Dye

It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.

Kin Hubbard
