Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

If I be waspish, best beware my sting.

William Shakespeare

Let your mind alone, and see what happens.

Virgil Thomson

Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep, and you weep alone; For this brave old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Solitude (f

I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she's more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything's perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It's sad. I'm a little like Ray, a little bit.

Dakota Fanning

You say that at the time of the Congress, in 1765, The great mass of the people were zealous in the cause of America. The great mass of the people is an expression that deserves analysis. New York and Pennsylvania were so nearly divided, if their propensity was not against us, that if New England on one side and Virginia on the other had not kept them in awe, they would have joined the British. Marshall, in his life of Washington, tells us, that the southern States were nearly equally divided. Look into the Journals of Congress, and you will see how seditious, how near rebellion were several counties of New York, and how much trouble we had to compose them. The last contest, in the town of Boston, in 1775, between whig and tory, was decided by five against two. Upon the whole, if we allow two thirds of the people to have been with us in the revolution, is not the allowance ample? Are not two thirds of the nation now with the administration? Divided we ever have been, and ever must be. Two thirds always had and will have more difficulty to struggle with the one third than with all our foreign enemies.

John Adams

Work without vision is drudgery. Vision without work is dreaming. Work plus vision-this is destiny.

Gordon B. Hinckley

We were racing at circuits where there were no crash barriers in front of the pits, and fuel was lying about in churns in the pit lane. A car could easily crash into the pits at any time. It was ridiculous.

Jackie Stewart

When you strike at a king, you must kill him

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Competition is the spice of sports; but if you make spice the whole meal you'll be sick.

George Leonard

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

Samuel Johnson

I had a girlfriend that was so fat her belly button made an echo.

Rodney Dangerfield

Those who resolve to conquer or die, are rarely conquered.
