Life is made of fear. Some people eat fear soup three times a day. Some people eat fear soup all the meals there are. I eat it sometimes. When they bring me fear soup to eat, I try not to eat it, I try to send it back. But sometimes I'm too afraid to and have to eat it anyway.

My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.

Hugh Jackman

Nothing is so beautiful as spring -- when weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring the ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up.

Jimmy Connors

A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.

Henry David Thoreau

Life is action and passion; therefore, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Men nearly always follow the tracks made by others and proceed in their affairs by imitation, even though they cannot entirely keep to the tracks of others or emulate the prowess of their models. So a prudent man should always follow in the footsteps of great men and imitate those who have been outstanding. If his own prowess fails to compare with theirs, at least it has an air of greatness about it. He should behave like those archers who, if they are skilful, when the target seems too distant, know the capabilities of their bow and aim a good deal higher than their objective, not in order to shoot so high but so that by aiming high they can reach the target.

Niccolo Machiavelli

A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man.

Catherine Deneuve

Wise men are instructed in reason;Men of less understanding by experience;The most unknowing learn by necessity. Wise men do in the beginning what fools do in the end.

Source Unknown

Truth is inseperable from the illusory belief that from the figures of the unreal one day, in spite of all, real deliverance will come.

Theodor Adorno

I'm as happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!

Samuel Smiles

May the God of your choice bless and keep you. I respect Him as long as He does not circumcise me anymore.
