He that lives upon hope will die fasting.

Business today consists in persuading crowds.

Gerald Stanley Lee

The pat on the back, the arm around the shoulder, the praise for what was done right and the sympathetic nod for what wasn't are as much a part of golf as life itself.

Gerald Ford

I think the beauty looks I most regret are those I was persuaded into.

Dita Von Teese

With Vietnam, the Iraq War, so many American films about war are almost always from the American point of view. You almost never have a Middle Eastern character by name with a story.

Mira Nair

I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get, pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really, you're lucky if you get anything.

Hope Davis

I will go anywhere, provided it be forward.

David Livingstone

If a book were written all in numbers, it would be true. It would be just. Nothing said in words ever came out quite even. Things in words got twisted and ran together, instead of staying straight and fitting together. But underneath the words, at the center, like the center of the Square, it all came out even. Everything could change, yet nothing would be lost. If you saw the numbers you could see that, the balance, the pattern. You saw the foundations of the world. And they were solid.

Ursula K. Le Guin

I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman. Damn.

Germaine Greer

To say that the first casualty of war is truth is to miss the rather more important point that a principal weapon of war is lies.

Harry M. Collins

So here's the question: Without a change in leadership, why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?

Paul Ryan

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

Theodore Roosevelt

It is my craft and my science to Watch. It is yours to jeer. Each of us to our specialty.
