I love to sing. It's the easiest thing for me to do.

Our own heart, and not other men's opinion, forms our true honor.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world...perhaps you've seen it.

Steven Wright

But the fevers are on me now, the virus mad to ravage my last fifty T cells. It's hard to keep the memory at full dazzle, with so much loss to mock it. Roger gone, Craig gone, Cesar gone, Stevie gone. And this feeling that I'm the last one left, in a world where only the ghosts still laugh. But at least they're the ghosts of full-grown men, proof that all of us got that far, free of the traps and the lies. And from that moment on the brink of summer's end, no one would ever tell me again that men like me couldn't love.

Paul Monette

Great things are done when men and mountains meet. This is not done by jostling in the street.

William Blake

We had times in '66 and '67 when we would pick up a platoon of privates out of the receiving barracks the week before we even graduated the platoon that we were on!

R. Lee Ermey

Human Felicity is produc'd not so much by great Pieces of good Fortune that seldom happen, as by little Advantages that occur every Day.

Benjamin Franklin

I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.

Orlando Bloom

The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.

Carly Fiorina

Moments of beauty sustain us through hours of ugliness.

Brent Weeks

It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.

Sydney Smith

The cops picked me up for attempted murder. I can still see the detectives, licking their chops. Thought they had me. Two weeks later, the cat came out of a coma and told the truth. I was innocent.

Barry White

You should be able to afford health care for your family. You should be able to retire with dignity and respect. And you should be able to give your children the kind of education that allows them to dream even bigger, go even farther and accomplish even more than you could ever imagine.

Cory Booker
