The major sweep of this book's living is too often marred by qualifying. It is hedged about with ifs and buts and if onlys and howevers, excuses for a life that is about to shut its covers for the last time and then crumple into dust in an unseen and never-to-be-remembered library.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed -- there's so little competition.

Elbert Hubbard

Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talks of the sovereignty of Parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.

William Lyon Mackenzie King

Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?

Clarence Darrow

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.

Woody Allen

Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense.

Joseph Addison

You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style.

Vladimir Nabokov

In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.

Isaac Rosenfeld

The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.

Cassandra Clare

What good am I? I can't have kids. I can't cook. I've been divorced three times. Who would want me?

Marilyn Monroe

You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination. Now you don't even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid

Oscar Wilde

You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think.

Milton Berle

I really appreciate family. I really can't imagine life without them!

Ice Cube
