Knowledge is invariably a matter of degree: you cannot put your finger upon even the simplest datum and say this we know.

Where people are really attached, poverty itself is wealth.

Jane Austen

I found out that if you are going to win games, you had better be ready to adapt.

Scotty Bowman

Being the son of a filmmaker, you are aware of a career as a director. You don't think of it as just movies, but as a life.

Jason Reitman

Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther.

Thomas Hood

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

Andre Norton

Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose singing Embraceable You in spats.

Woody Allen

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

Richard Bach

The human mind is indeed a cave swarming with strange forms of life, most of them unconscious and unilluminated. Unless we can understand something as to how the motives that issue from this obscurity are generated, we can hardly hope to foresee or control them.

Charles Horton Cooley

We must not be so ready to fancy ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does.

Jane Austen

Racism is when you have laws set up, systematically put in a way to keep people from advancing, to stop the advancement of a people. Black people have never had the power to enforce racism, and so this is something that white America is going to have to work out themselves. If they decide they want to stop it, curtail it, or to do the right thing... then it will be done, but not until then.

Spike Lee

Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.

Carey Williams

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'

Billy Graham
