Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

Money, again, has often been a cause of the delusion of the multitudes. Sober nations have all at once become desperate gamblers, and risked almost their existence upon the turn of a piece of paper.

Charles Mackay

These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.

Charles Barkley

It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.

Arthur Balfour

I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy.

Sting

Unrequited love is a ridiculous state, and it makes those in it behave ridiculously.

Cassandra Clare

Audacity augments courage; hesitation, fear.

Publilius Syrus

Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of Heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so holy.

William Blake

Statistically and emotionally, I believe that the way I can be of help to society is by doing what I know and what I've been good at.

Tom Peters

The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings.

Martin Scorsese

The churches must learn humility as well as teach it.

George Bernard Shaw

I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.

Chris Brown

The art of creation is older than the art of killing.

Edward Koch
