Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really merely commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most outer results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.

Yes, it must be something that goes very well with my voice, let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others, and I don't pretend for instance, to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.

Victoria de los Angeles

I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.

Giuseppe Garibaldi

While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.

Mark Twain

Not to unlearn what you have learned is the most necessary kind of learning.

Antisthenes

It's very important in a leadership role not to place your ego at the foreground and not to judge everything in relationship to how your ego is fed.

Ruth J. Simmons

The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know; it judges us by what we have.

Joyce Brothers

Books are like a mirror. If an ass looks in, you can't expect an angel to look out.

Arthur Schopenhauer

My mother smokes me out. We'll get these long periods of me thinking I'm too busy to call her up or e-mail her, and she'll send me something. My mom's a real whiner. I love her to death, but she always sends me these 'woe is me' things. I think she might be Jewish. I'm not sure. She's Baptist-Jewish, which is a double whammy.

Ronnie Dunn

The thing about New York is you can leave your house without a plan and find the day. You can't do that in Los Angeles. You need to get in your car, all this, you can't just drive around like a lunatic. In New York, you can literally walk outside, and wind up anywhere.

Michael Rapaport

Manners are happy ways of doing things.

The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the person's life and teach them principles of real solid manhood, character, integrity and leadership, the more consistent you can be in the person's life and teach them those things at a younger age, and then the better off they'll be.

Allan Houston

If one finds the strength to deal with small things, one finds it to deal with the large ones as well.
