I love my man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage; and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man.

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.

William James

If I have to choose between an omnipotent God who leaves the world in this condition, and a God who has only a little bit of power but really cares and tries to make things better, I'll take you every time. Go on playing God, Hyrum. You're not bad at it. Sometimes you kind of get it right.

Orson Scott Card

I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

Michelle Williams

The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.

Robert Fritz

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.

William Shakespeare

I grew up around hip-hop so I didn't think it was about being cool or being black or being white or whatever.

Chad Hugo

Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult.

Mario Puzo

Wealth is well known to be a great comforter.

Plato

If you are lazy, and accept your lot, you may live in it. If you are willing to work, you can write your name anywhere you choose.

Gene Stratton-Porter

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

Victor Hugo

Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.

William Arthur Ward

I love being on stage if I'm not on a set. If I'm at home, I'm usually in my office editing or reconstructing my website or whatever it may be. I just love putting creativity into a performance, so if the right script comes along, and I certainly am reading comedies and dramas now, then I'm ready willing and able to give it a shot.
