Adlai Stevenson

Mark Twain

Oscar Wilde

I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well.

Freedom is the right to live as we wish.

Epictetus

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

Og Mandino

Wolfgang Puck
