I have made decisions that turned out to be wrong, and went back and did it another way, and still took less time than many who procrastinated over the original decision. Your brain is capable of handling 140, 000 million bits of information in one second, and if you take hours or days or weeks to reach a vital decision, you are short-circuiting your most valuable property.

It's the safety valve of middle life, and the solace of age.

Mary Roberts Rinehart

As the body dieth when the soul departeth, so the soul of man dieth, when it hath not the knowledge of God.

John Jewel

How delightful to find a friend in everyone.

Joseph Brodsky

There are hundreds of languages in the world but a smile speaks them all.

Eternal life does not begin with death; it begins with faith.

Samuel M. Shoemaker

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.

Steve Jobs

When you're a kid, I think you want to be a film star. And I'm not as enamoured with that any more. The reality of that life is a lot of travel, and a lot of being away, which is impractical because I have four children, so I don't want to be away that much, not the other side of the world away.

Rob Brydon

When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.

Andrea Thompson

Taking it all in all, I find it is more trouble to watch after money than to get it.

Michel de Montaigne

When the Veterans Affairs Department implemented a program to provide home-based health care to veterans with multiple chronic conditions - many of the system's most expensive patients to treat - they received astounding results.

Ron Wyden

One might suppose that reality must be held to at all costs. However, though that may be the moral thing to do, it is not necessarily the most useful thing to do. The Greeks themselves chose the ideal over the real in their geometry and demonstrated very well that far more could be achieved by consideration of abstract line and form than by a study of the real lines and forms of the world; the greater understanding achieved through abstraction could be applied most usefully to the very reality that was ignored in the process of gaining knowledge.

Isaac Asimov

When my journal appears, many statues must come down.
