To make a great dream come true, you must first have a great dream.

It is quite possible that we can do greater things than Jesus, for what is written in the Bible about him is poetically embellished

Albert Einstein

Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and omni-inclusive, with no exceptions. Love, like synergetics, is nondifferentiable, i.e., is integral.

Buckminster Fuller

Never hold anyone by the button or the hand in order to be heard out; for if people are unwilling to hear you, you had better hold your tongue than them.

Lord Chesterfield

Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself.

Baltasar Gracian

The reward of a thing well done is having done it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is only beauty -- and it has only one perfect expression -- poetry. All the rest is a lie --except for those who live by the body, love, and, that love of the mind, friendship. For me, Poetry takes the place of love, because it is enamored of itself, and because its sensual delight falls back deliciously in my soul.

Stephane Mallarme

A funeral eulogy is a belated plea for the defense delivered after the evidence is all in.

Irvin S. Cobb

I got beat real hard and heavy in the Olympic Games in 1968 by a guy who swam an incredible race one time in his whole life, but he did it right at the right time. I'd like to be that guy now. Maybe that's what I'm going to have to pull out of my hat to make the Olympic team.

Mark Spitz

The quality of life is so different in France. There is the possibility of living a simple life. I would never contemplate raising my daughter in LA. I would never raise any child there.

Johnny Depp

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

Michael Jordan

The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love, The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.

Oliver Goldsmith

Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.

M. Night Shyamalan
