Life is full of grief, to exactly the degree we allow ourselves to love other people.

What is art? Prostitution.

Charles Baudelaire

To those who will see, the world waits.

Libba Bray

Being brave is when you have to do something because you know it is right, but at the same time, you are afraid to do it, because it might hurt or whatever. But you do it anyway.

Meg Cabot

To me, the definition of focus is knowing exactly where you want to be today, next week, next month, next year, then never deviating from your plan. Once you can see, touch and feel your objective, all you have to do is pull back and put all your strength behind it, and you'll hit your target every time.

Bruce Jenner

A peace deal requires agreements, and you don't make agreements with your friends, you make agreements with your enemies.

Richard Holbrooke

For every minute, the future is becoming the past.

Thor Heyerdahl

Leadership is something I was born with.

Carmelo Anthony

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

Napoleon Hill

I call on the international community to be fair to the Iraqi people. My position is that we respect international resolutions but in return demand justice and accountability for those who stole Iraq's money.

Ahmed Chalabi

If you put enough sheep together you have a herd- a force to be reckoned with.

Maria V. Snyder

Men sometimes speak as if the study of the classics would at length make way for more modern and practical studies; but the adventurous student will always study classics, in whatever language they may be written and however ancient they may be. For what are the classics but the noblest recorded thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old. To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem.

Henry David Thoreau

It is a wearisome disease to preserve health by too strict a regimen.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
