Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.

Twenty years from now you will be disappointed you never used Cosmic Ordering today.

Stephen Richards

The family only represents one aspect, however important an aspect, of a human being's functions and activities. A life is beautiful and ideal or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship.

Havelock Ellis

There are some experiences in life which should not be demanded twice from any man, and one of them is listening to the Brahms Requiem.

George Bernard Shaw

I've been rich and I've been poor. Rich is better.

Sophie Tucker

If I win and get the money, then the Oakland Police department is going to buy a boys' home, me a house, my family a house, and a Stop Police Brutality Center.

Tupac Shakur

Music has always been my back door to life. It is important for people to find something that excites them. I like the concept that if you do what excites you, you will be rewarded generously, whatever form reward takes, which is not necessarily money.

Brandon Boyd

There are few things in politics more annoying than the Right's utter conviction that it owns the patent on the word 'freedom' that when its leaders stand up for the rights of banks to be unregulated or capital gains to be untaxed, that it is actually and obviously standing up for human liberty, the noblest cause of them all.

Thomas Frank

There is not sufficient love and goodness in the world to permit us to give some of it away to imaginary things.

Friedrich Nietzsche

PROPHECY, n. The art and practice of selling one's credibility for future delivery.

Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dict

Andre Norton

Except in a few well-publicized instances (enough to lend credence to the iconography painted on the walls of the media), the rigorous practice of rugged individualism usually leads to poverty, ostracism and disgrace. The rugged individualist is too often mistaken for the misfit, the maverick, the spoilsport, the sore thumb.

Lewis H. Lapham

I really believe that everyone has a talent, ability, or skill that he can mine to support himself and to succeed in life.
