I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

My faith has strengthen. God has shown me through my son with Down syndrome not take anything for granted. I'm more grateful.

Yvonne Pierre

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.

Ayn Rand

It is not enough to do your best you must know what to do, and then do your best.

W. Edwards Deming

It is respectable to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull.

Joseph Conrad

I feel there's a power in theatre, but it's an indirect power. It's like the relationship of the sleeper to the unconscious. You discover things you can't afford to countenance in waking life. You can forget them, remember them a day later or not have any idea what they are about.

Tony Kushner

Of course a poem is a two-way street. No poem is any good if it doesn't suggest to the reader things from his own mind and recollection that he will read into it, and will add to what the poet has suggested. But I do think poetry readings are very important.

James Laughlin

I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.

Eli Whitney

The job numbers are positive. We've had more jobs created now than were lost during the recession. We're seeing that the creation, we're seeing those numbers not only grow but shift toward the private sector and shift toward full-time employment and these are all signs that the recovery is taking some hold but we're not out of woods.

Stephen Harper

Who can I trust? You have to invest in somebody and chances are you're probably going to invest in somebody who's going to deceive you. I've been conned a couple of times, but now I'm a little more savvy.

Maggie Gyllenhaal

I support the truth, that is all there is to it. And if you fall in that category of the truth, you are supported by the truth.

Jose Canseco

When the audience leaves, I'd like them to feel positive when they go.

Juice Newton

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability, it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.
