Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything.

Little crimes breed big crimes. You smile at little crimes and then big crimes blow your head off.

Terry Pratchett

The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that progress is made one step at a time. A house is built one brick at a time. Football games are won a play at a time. A department store grows bigger one customer at a time. Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments.

Dr. David Schwartz

My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table I had a tremendous music education.

Renee Fleming

If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.

Lucille Ball

Politics is like football if you see daylight, go through the hole.

John F. Kennedy

As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it. The only person who's going to be penalized and have difficulty is the law abiding citizen, who then cannot have it if he wants protection the protection of a weapon in his home, for home protection.

Ronald Reagan

Sweetest love, I do not go, For weariness of thee, Nor in hope the world can show A fitter love for me; But since that I Must die at last, 'tis best, To use my self in jest Thus by feigned deaths to die.

John Donne

I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles, and I thought that was pretty cool, so I was quite up front about it.

Jon McGregor

Better a life like a falling star, brief bright across the dark, than the long, long waiting of the immortals, loveless and cheerlessly wise.

Poul Anderson

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

William Shakespeare

We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are.

Max de Pree

The reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
