As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it. The only person who's going to be penalized and have difficulty is the law abiding citizen, who then cannot have it if he wants protection the protection of a weapon in his home, for home protection.

Love poems are always cliche to me but not to the person it's for.

James Dye

The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Maybe we shouldn't be looking for love. Maybe we should be looking for a person. Because maybe you can find love in a person, but not have that person. So if you look for love, what you will find is love. But if you want to belong to someone, and you want someone to belong to you, you should look for a person.

C. JoyBell C.

A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.

Wallace Stevens

Jackson went from the professor's chair to the officer's saddle. He carried with him the very elements of character which made him odious as a teacher but I never saw him in an arbitrary mood.

Daniel H. Hill

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.

Henry David Thoreau

You have to have a sense of humor about life to get through it.

Kesha

At first, I thoroughly enjoyed being famous.

Phil Donahue

At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.

Muhammad Ali

In the world of knowledge, the essential Form of Good is the limit of our inquiries, and can barely be perceived; but, when perceived, we cannot help concluding that it is in every case the source of all that is bright and beautiful --in the visible world giving birth to light and its master, and in the intellectual world dispensing, immediately and with full authority, truth and reason --and that whosoever would act wisely, either in private or in public, must set this Form of Good before his eyes.

Plato

The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.

Clarence Clemons

What I've learned in my life, it's a very interesting social study for me, to go back and forth between being the guy at home and being the guy on the road and being the guy in studio and being the guy in the interview. The environment around you has so much to do with your character, and when I'm home, my character really changes quite a bit.

John Mayer
