Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved we love to love.

The gift of a common tongue is a priceless inheritance and it may well some day become the foundation of a common citizenship.

Sir Winston Churchill

Well, being that, at the house and being in the competition, it was very hard to be with family. We couldn't have visitors out of respect for everyone else there. But, being the American Idol, the focus would have been on me.

LaToya London

There is good in everything; it's just how you choose to look at it. Everything that's worth it has a price. For me to be a model - I had to leave my family. Do you think I liked that? No! There are sacrifices. Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

Gisele Bundchen

A man is never more serious than when he praise himself.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

The truth sometimes not sought for comes forth to the light.

Menander

Our civilization, bequeathed to us by fierce adventurers, eaters of meat and hunters, is so full of hurry and combat, so busy about many things which perhaps are of no importance, that it cannot but see something feeble in a civilization which smiles as it refuses to make the battlefield the test of excellence.

James Joyce

And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Robert Fulghum

One can think of a secretary actively operating a filing system, of a librarian actively cataloguing books, of a computer actively sorting out information. The mind however does not actively sort out information. The information sorts itself out and organises itself into patterns. The mind is passive. The mind only provides an opportunity for the information to behave in this way. The mind provides a special environment in which information can become self-organising. This special environment is a memory surface with special characteristics.ISBN 0140137793 Copyright

Edward De Bono, Lateral Thinking

This law (regarding the theoretical efficiency of heat engines by Mr. Joule), and the law of the maximum efficiency of heat engines, are particular cases of a general law which regulates all transformation of energy, and is the basis of the Science of Energetics.

William John Macquorn Rankine

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.

H. G. Wells

The world is but a canvas to the imagination.

Henry David Thoreau

Good will, like a good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one.
