Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain -- at least in a poor country like Russia -- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.

Management is nothing more than motivating other people.

Lee Iacocca

The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.

Junot Diaz

What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically.

Elie Wiesel

And still the question, What shall be done with our ex-Presidents? is not laid at rest; and I sometimes think Wattersons solution of it, Take them out and shoot them, is worthy of attention.

Grover Cleveland

Adversity cause some men to break; others to break records.

William Arthur Ward

Hold fast the time! Guard it, watch over it, every hour, every minute! Unregarded it slips away, like a lizard, smooth, slippery, faithless, a pixy wife. Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

Thomas Mann, The Beloved Returns

I just don't crave junk food.

Cat Deeley

Most prayers are not really questions...and if we listen very closely, a prayer is often its own answer. ...We pray because we are here - not to change the world, but to change ourselves. Because it is when we change ourselves...that the world is changed.

Douglas Wood

Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.

Richard Simmons

Wolves which batten upon lambs, lambs consumed by wolves, the strong who immolate the weak, the weak victims of the strong: there you have Nature, there you have her intentions, there you have her scheme: a perpetual action and reaction, a host of vices, a host of virtues, in one word, a perfect equilibrium resulting from the equality of good and evil on earth.

Marquis de Sade

The truth was only another mask, even if it was the best fit, the closest to skin and all that lay beneath

Michelle Sagara West

Be courteous, be obliging, but don't give yourself over to be melted down for the benefit of the tallow trade.

George Eliot
