If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.

Where I once constantly lost my temper, I found myself arriving at a crisis and experiencing peace.

Josh McDowell

To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.

Jane Austen

To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others.

Virginia Woolf

It is possible in this world to be pretty and funny and successful all at the same time.

Olivia Munn

You can never betray the people who are dead, so you go on being a public Jew; the dead can't answer slurs, but I'm here. I would love to think that Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, but he doesn't.

Anita Brookner

Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.

Freeman Dyson

My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.

George Papandreou

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.

Daniel Hudson Burnham

If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.

Dale Carnegie

It's a very old word, it means 'to breathe into.' That's how it works: An angel breathes into men and shows us what to play, what to draw. How to find the truth of who we are and why we are here.

Jon Steele

The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience.

Chinua Achebe

The more you learn what to do with yourself, and the more you do for others, the more you will learn to enjoy the abundant life.

William J. H. Boetcker
