Joseph Conrad

Miami is one of the great cultural melting pots in the world. I love working and living here.

David Caruso

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

Napoleon Hill

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.

The thing is, when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage, and because I went on to have a very, very unhappy two years, I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.

Rob Brydon

Think naught a trifle, though it small appear; Small sands the mountain, moments make the year, And trifles life.

Edward Young

I'm not trying to be romantic. I think you can tell when people are trying to be sexy onstage. When I was doing 'All the Way,' I was really thinking about my wife. People don't know my personal experience, but they can tell it's an honest interpretation.

Harry Connick, Jr.

Ambrose Bierce

Simple pleasures are always the last refuge of the complex

Oscar Wilde

All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.

Mark Twain
