The lunch in a normal American restaurant is very problematic for me. I don't like to have hot food for lunch.

Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.

Booker T. Washington

Writing is the continuation of politics by other means.

Philippe Sollers

And while thoulivest, dear Kate, take a fellow of plain anduncoined constancy; for he perforce must do theeright, because he hath not the gift to woo in otherplaces: for these fellows of infinite tongue, thatcan rhyme themselves into ladies' favours, they doalways reason themselves out again. What! aspeaker is but a prater; a rhyme is but a ballad. Agood leg will fall; a straight back will stoop; ablack beard will turn white; a curled pate will growbald; a fair face will wither; a full eye will waxhollow: but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and themoon; or, rather, the sun, and not the moon; for itshines bright and never changes, but keeps hiscourse truly. If thou would have such a one, takeme; and take me, take a soldier; take a soldier,take a king. And what sayest thou then to my love?speak, my fair, and fairly, I pray thee

William Shakespeare

Convicções profundas só as têm as criaturas superficiais. Os que não reparam para as coisas quase que as veem apenas para não esbarrar com elas, esses são sempre da mesma opinião, são os íntegros e os coerentes. A política e a religião gastam dessa lenha, e é por isso que ardem tão mal entre a Verdade e a Vida.

Fernando Pessoa

The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is, of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.

Marshall McLuhan

Look up and not down;Look forward and not back;Look out and not in;Lend a Hand.

Edward Everett Hale

To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.

William Osler

No poet sings because he must sing. At least no great poet does. A great poet sings because he chooses to sing.

You know, I look like a woman but I think like a man. And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don't know what's goin' on, I then got the money, and gone.

Dolly Parton

I found that when I did something for the sake of heaven, heaven happened. These things changed my life. I owe them to my encounter with Christianity.

Lionel Blue

Start off everyday with a simple smile and get it over with.

W. C. Fields

Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
