Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.

One is never fortunate or as unfortunate as one imagines.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The best book, like the best speech, will do it all - make us laugh, think, cry and cheer - preferably in that order.

Madeleine Albright

The jury, passing on the prisoner's life, may have in the sworn twelve a thief or two guiltier than him they try.

William Shakespeare

Love is a command, not just a feeling. Somehow, in the romantic world of music and theater we have made love to be what it is not. We have so mixed it with beauty and charm and sensuality and contact that we have robbed it of its higher call of cherishing and nurturing.

Ravi Zacharias

We create success or failure on the course primarily by our thoughts.

Gary Player

He who has love in his breast has ever the spurs at his flanks.

Bernardo Dovizi

Just because something is beautiful doesn´t mean it´s good.

Alex Flinn

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.

John Lubbock

Being rejected is not the end of your life, it's a means to an end for your life. And that end is your destiny.

Adetokunbo O. Adeoye

Because I'm moved in writing to be irrepressible. Writing to you seems like some holy cause, cause there's not enough female irrepressibility written down. I've fused my silence and repression with the entire female gender's silence and repression. I think the sheer fact of women talking, being, paradoxical, inexplicable, flip, self-destructive but above all else public is the most revolutionary thing in the world.

Chris Kraus

I don't have to have faith, I have experience.

Joseph Campbell

Do little things every day that no one else seems to want to do, be patient, and success will find you.
