A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations.

A fine gentleman like that, they said, had no need of books. Let him leave books, they said, to the palsied or the dying. But worse was to come. For once the disease of reading has laid hold upon the system it weakens it so that it falls an easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the ink pot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing.

Virginia Woolf

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Barack Obama

Why had it been left for a stranger to reveal him to himself?

Oscar Wilde

The world does not pay for what a person knows, but it pays for what a person does with what he knows.

Laurence Lee

Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.

Kahlil Gibran

Only from the heart Can you touch the sky.

Rumi

When you begin to actively participate in the creation of your life, there is never an end, even in death, for physics tells us that nothing is ever created nor destroyed, merely transformed.

Stephen Richards

A time will come in your life, William, where your faith will be tested... and you must stay faithful to the word and vision that the All-Father has given to you.

M.J. Chrisman

For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

James Baldwin

I would just like to mention Robert Houdin who in the eighteenth century invented the vanishing birdcage trick and the theater matinee - may he rot and perish. Good afternoon.

Orson Welles

That man is the noblest creature may also be inferred from the fact that no other creature has yet contested this claim.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

I love trainwrecks on live TV.
