Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.

To hard necessity ones will and fancy must conform.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Man lives for science as well as bread.

William James

Perfection is something we should all strive for. It's a duty and a joy to perfect one's nature... The most difficult thing is love. A loveless, driving person that just competes in the rat race is far from perfection in my book.

R.D. Laing

I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.

Dolly Parton

There are two kinds of mines; one is the personnel mine and the other is the vehicular mine. When we come to a mine field our infantry attacks exactly as if it were not there. The losses we get from personnel mines we consider only equal to those we would have gotten from machine guns and artillery if the Germans had chosen to defend that particular area with strong bodies of troops instead of with mine fields. The attacking infantry does not set off the vehicular mines, so after they have penetrated to the far side of the field they form a bridgehead, after which the engineers come up and dig out channels through which our vehicles can go.

Dwight D Eisenhower

A life in any sphere that is the expression and outflow of an honest, earnest, loving heart, taking counsel only of God and itself, will be certain to be a life of beneficence in the best possible direction.

Josiah Gilbert Holland

I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.

Albert Einstein

I'm not really interested in thinking about marriage or kids at all.

Stacy Keibler

My early and invincible love of reading I would not exchange for all the riches of India.

Edward Gibbon

Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.

Jean-Paul Sartre

You and me will read a book and find three interesting things that we remember. But Colin finds everything intriguing. He reads a book about presidents and he remembers more of it because everything he reads clicks in his head as fugging interesting.

John Green

A theology should be like poetry, which takes us to the end of what words and thoughts can do.

Karen Armstrong
