Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other.

Oliver Goldsmith

Don't hide your strategy under a bushel. Communicate it throughout your company. It's better today to disclose too much that too little.

Joel E. Ross

The appreciation of the merits of art (of the emotions it conveys) depends upon an understanding of the meaning of life, what is seen as good and evil. Good and evil are defined by religions.

Leo Tolstoy

Compromise is never anything but an ignoble truce between the duty of a man and the terror of a coward.

Reginald W. Kaufman

Always be happy, you never know how happy you can make another by just being happy.

Ogwo David Emenike

Work while you work, play while you play - this is a basic rule of repressive self-discipline.

Andrew Sturm

I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.

Paul McCartney

Let us be grateful to Adam, our benefactor. He cut us out of the blessing of idleness and won for us the curse of labor.

Mark Twain

Donna Mills

I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing.

Florence Welch

I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.

Eartha Kitt
