Love changes what is probable and makes unlikely things possible.

If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager then without hesitation, that He exists.

Blaise Pascal

I try to lie as much as I can when I'm interviewed. It's reverse psychology. I figure if you lie, they'll print the truth.

River Phoenix

I'm an immigrant kid who came to America from India when I was very young and grew up in New York City with a single mom and really was influenced by all of those immigrant cultures bumping up against each other.

Padma Lakshmi

I think to be in politics you have to have the taste for blood on that.

Moira Kelly

Crime to many is not crime but simply a way of life. If laws are inconvenient, ignore them, they don't apply to you.

Dick Francis

In a world that is constantly changing, there is no one subject or set of subjects that will serve you for the foreseeable future, let alone for the rest of your life. The most important skill to acquire now is learning how to learn.

John Naisbitt

Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide, And wash the Body whence the Life has died, And lay me, shrouded in the living Leaf, By some not unfrequented Garden-side.

Omar Khayyam

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

Bruce Lee

Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.

Virgil Thomson

I have run large organizations, I know what it takes to create a healthy business climate, and I have more experience than Jerry Brown doing that. So it'll be a stark contrast, a career politician vs. someone who has met a payroll, gotten a return on investment, knows how to use technology to do more with less.

Meg Whitman

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

Saint Teresa of Avila

The dissolution of the nation destroys the national religion, and dethrones the national deity.

William Robertson Smith
