Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.

Humanity is the virtue of a woman, generosity that of a man.

Adam Smith

Work: a dangerous disorder affecting high public functionaries who want to go fishing

Ambrose Bierce

But struggling with these better feelings was pride,--the vice of the lowest and most debased creatures no less than of the high and self-assured. The miserable companion of thieves and ruffians, the fallen outcast of low haunts, the associate of the scourings of the jails and hulks, living within the shadow of the gallows itself,--even this degraded being felt too proud to betray a feeble gleam of the womanly feeling which she thought a weakness, but which alone conneced her with that humanity, of which her wasting life had obliterated so many, many traces when a very child.

Charles Dickens

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.

Daniel Day-Lewis

Dignity is not negotiable. Dignity is the honor of the family.

Vartan Gregorian

It is said an eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him with the words, 'And this, too, shall pass away.' How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!

Abraham Lincoln

What a man knows is everywhere at war with what he wants.

Joseph Wood Krutch

We have been working hard to think about what our combined needs are going to be in the way of intelligence capabilities, not today but 15 to 20 years in the future.

Stephen Cambone

The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.

Adolf Loos

Don't throw away another day! No more procrastinating! Only YOU can make it happen. So, UN-ASS the couch and make it happen!

Steve Maraboli

Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.

Cesar Ritz

I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.
