There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm to happy being myself.

To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.

Marie Leneru

At my age flowers scare me.

George Burns

The days are too short even for love; how can there be enough time for quarreling?

Margaret Gatty

she felt this thing that she called life terrible, hostile, and quick to pounce on you if you gave it a chance. There were the eternal problems: suffering; death; the poor. There was always a woman dying of cancer even here. And yet she had said to all these children, You shall go through with it.

Virginia Woolf

Sometime I'm going to do an essay called 'The Virtues of Amateurism' for all of those people who wish they earned their living in the arts. The market kills more artistic people than anything else. It's a world of safety out there, for most people. They want safety, the magazines and manufacturers give them safety, give them homogeneity, give them the familiar and comfortable, don't challenge them.

Robert James Waller

Always speak the truth, think before you speak, and write it down afterwards.

Lewis Carroll

Whoso loves Believes the impossible.

Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

I love playing for my country, getting the support. Especially for the kids and everybody, showing my example of what I can achieve so early. And maybe they can achieve it, too, just to get that in their minds.

Maria Sharapova

Pablo

Over the past few years, the road to confrontation has shown its consequences: loss of innocent lives, destruction and fear. Most costly, however, was the loss of hope. The most precious gift that you can present to your peoples over the coming weeks is renewed hope born out of tangible progress on the ground.

King Abdullah II

We are happier in many ways when we are old than when we were young. The young sow wild oats. The old grow sage.

Sir Winston Churchill

I came out of the Soviet Union no longer a communist, because I believed in personal freedom.
