Man is subject to innumerable pains and sorrows by the very condition of humanity, and yet, as if nature had not sown evils enough in life, we are continually adding grief to grief and aggravating the common calamity by our cruel treatment of one another.

What a curious picture it is to find man, homo sapiens, of divine origin, we are told, seriously considering going underground to escape the consequences of his own folly. With a little wisdom and foresight, surely it is not yet necessary to forsake life in the fresh air and in the warmth of the sunlight. What a paradox if our own cleverness in science should force us to live underground with the moles.

J. William Fulbright

Some of my fans have said that because I've been able to speak about my issues, that they're not afraid to speak about theirs, which is an amazing feeling.

Demi Lovato

Persephone is just a name for a spirit of beauty at a certain time in history. I'm sure we could argue a biblical place for her if it matters. Your wife has the name of that pagan goddess, but the fact remains that she's your mortal bride in the Year of Our Lord 1888- and she's Catholic, so pray for her, damn it, I don't care how confusing it is. And pray for us, to anyone. If the dead are about to flood Athens, divine goodwill couldn't hurt. Your prayers can be in Hindu, if you like. Now go home.

My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.

John Wooden

There exist moments in life, separated by long intervals of time, but linked together by their inner content and by a certain singular sensation peculiar to them. Several such moments always recur to my mind together, and I feel then that it is these that have determined the chief trend of my life.

P. D. Ouspensky

Who digs a pit for others will fall in themselves.

Proverb

In the democratic western countries so-called capitalism leads a saturnalia of freedom, like a bastard brother of reform.

Percy Wynham Lewis

At the end of the day the question comes, what are you doing for the world? You have to try to do something that's going to add something positive.

Paul Feig

Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.

Gene Fowler

Love and art do not embrace what is beautiful but what is made beautiful by this embrace.

Karl Kraus

Pray, and let God worry.

Martin Luther

I think there should be holy war against yoga classes.
