I drank a lot when I was a teenager and I don't drink any more, because that's when I thought, you know, I'm gonna end up a car wreck.

Kristin Davis

What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It is for the superfluous we sweat.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Thus the great civilizer sends out its emissaries, sooner or later, to every sandy cape and light-house of the New World which the census-taker visits, and summons the savage there to surrender.

Henry David Thoreau

Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly.

Martin Luther King Jr.

It was expected, however, that [Erasmus] should make some reply and give some definition.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Johann von Goethe

What we find in books is like the fire in our hearths. We fetch it from our neighbors, we kindle it at home, we communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.

Voltaire

I was in the Commons recently and saw a young lady wearing a nice pair of shoes. I said I liked them and she said my shoes were the reason she became involved in politics.

Theresa May

Act as if you have already achieved your goal and it is yours.
