If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has talent and uses only half of it, he has half failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.

Thou art to me a delicious torment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think that politics could be a positive thing. My beef is that people focus on the personal aspect of a politician too much. They should focus on the results.

LL Cool J

We certainly want those at the top to do well, but if you base your entire presidency and your entire economic platform on helping them do even better, you're missing what makes the economy tick. Because not everyone has been as fortunate as Mitt Romney, you cannot base your whole approach on a life experience as rarified as his.

Charles Schumer

My private life is private. But at the same time, I have nothing to hide.

Cynthia Nixon

I go jogging for 25 minutes every morning, even if I'm away from home.

Pierre Dukan

Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.

Khalil Gibran

There are no foolish questions and no one becomes a fool until they have stopped asking questions.

What we bring to the table is not only our 56 field offices in the United States and our number of resident agencies, but also we have 45 legal attaches overseas.

Robert Mueller

There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.

Henri Bergson

Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.

William Tecumseh Sherman

Get the habit of analysis- analysis will in time enable synthesis to become your habit of mind.

Frank Lloyd Wright

We find nothing easier than being wise, patient, superior. We drip with the oil of forbearance and sympathy, we are absurdly just, we forgive everything. For that very reason we ought to discipline ourselves a little; for that very reason we ought to cultivate a little emotion, a little emotional vice, from time to time. It may be hard for us; and among ourselves we may perhaps laugh at the appearance we thus present. But what of that! We no longer have any other mode of self-overcoming available to us: this is our asceticism, our penance.

Friedrich Nietzsche
