Man should not try to avoid stress any more than he would shun food, love or exercise.

There must be more to life than having everything.

Maurice Sendak

Man, I just feel blessed... I was in a situation where the only way I could come out of it was by putting my faith in God. No matter how good my lawyers were, no matter how much celebrity I had, everything was just stacked up against me.

Puff Daddy

Society friendship and love Divinely bestow'd upon man, O had I the wings of a dove How soon I would taste you again!

William Cowper

Life has a funny way of turning you into the one thing you don't want to be.

Jonathan Levine

I'm fortunate that I've been in this business long enough that I've earned the right to be left alone by my record company.

Don Henley

Thinking will never be a waste of time, because it prevents you from wasting time in the future.

Vinh Khanh Huynh

Human beings are accustomed to think of intellect as the power of having and controlling ideas and of ability to learn as synonymous with ability to have ideas. But learning by having ideas is really one of the rare and isolated events in nature.

Edward Thorndike

I was in college, and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time, it seemed the thing I really wanted to do, production design, just wasn't available in the U.K., so I turned to music.

Eric Burdon

I'm actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, 'Man, I said too much.' It's hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.

Drake

There's an ethic that says: 'You don't run off to the church for the sacraments of salvation, you establish a personal relationship with God. You don't run off to the courts for justice, you settle it yourself. You don't run off to labor unions to sort out your work relations, you can take this job and shove it if you don't like what you're doing.'

John Shelton Reed

Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.

Phillip Sweet

If you want to know why Republicans and conservatives are in a political crisis, you need only consider the fact that the Right's deeply held view now boils down to this: Taxes should not go up on the wealthy, and your health benefits should be cut.
