Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did... in fact, they admired it.

I don't really believe in diets. I love food... If I deprive myself, I'm going to want it more. I snack on yogurt, raw cashews and cherry tomatoes.

Nicole Scherzinger

Formerly...when he tried to do anything for the good of everybody, for humanity...for the whole village, he had noticed that the thoughts of it were agreeable, but the activity itself was always unsatisfactory; there was no full assurance that the work was really necessary, and the activity itself, which at first seemed so great, ever lessened and lessened till it vanished. But now...when he began to confine himself more and more to living for himself, though he no longer felt any joy at the thought of his activity, he felt confident that his work was necessary, saw that it progressed far better than formerly, and that it was always growing more and more.

Leo Tolstoy

The essence of living is discovering. Indeed, it is the joy of discovery that makes life worth the effort.

Vijay Krishna

Confront your fears, list them, get to know them, and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead.

I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event.

Paula Radcliffe

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Henry David Thoreau

One cannot buy, rent or hire more time. The supply of time is totally inelastic. No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up. There is no price for it. Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time. All work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource.

Peter Drucker

To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.

Lyndon B. Johnson

You must understand that seeing is believing, but also know that believing is seeing.

Denis Waitley

The hard-core intentionalist expresses only the most remote concern for consequences - usually, some vague, distant utopia. But this is, in most cases, a rationalization. His real satisfaction comes from a sense of doing the right thing - even when right has, in his mind, no clear connection with reality.http://www.libertyhaven.com/theoreticalorphilosophicalissues/ethics/moralityofgood.html

Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

Arthur Schopenhauer

I for one find a casual destruction of a man's life even more repugnant than a determined one.
