I look at my little girl and I wonder what she's going to be and what she's going to do and what is it that leads girls certain directions in life. I think a lot of that goes back to what kind of father they had, and so it makes me want to be the best dad I can possibly be.

People's dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It's what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.

Barbara Kingsolver

An ordinary man away from home giving advice.

Oscar Wilde

I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?

Benjamin Disraeli

Not failure, but low aim is sin.

Benjamin E. Mays

Tragedy is like strong acid - it dissolves away all but the very gold of truth.

David Herbert Lawrence

Live accordingly... success isn't something you have, it's something you do.

Steve Maraboli

Patience and tenacity are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

Thomas Huxley

Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.

Mitch Albom

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

Orison Swett Marden

The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's must be beautiful; the ideas like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.

Godfrey Harold Hardy

No one else in our family was a professional musician so this took an enormous leap of faith on their part.

Tony Visconti

Discontent is want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will

Ralph Waldo Emerson
