You may be right that people say: 'You know what, we had Obama. He was inexperienced. The guy had great rhetoric, sounded good, looked good, but has turned out to be an utter disaster. I want someone where I have confidence and credibility that they're up to the job and that I can trust what they tell me.'

Few persons who have ever sat for a portrait can have felt anything but inferior while the process is going on.

Anthony Powell

Liars are always ready to take oaths.

Vittorio Alfieri

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.

Vincent Van Gogh

Covenants, without the sword, are but words, and of no strength to secure a man at all. The bonds of words are too weak to bridle man's ambition, avarice, anger, and other passions, without the fear of some coercive power.

Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, 1660

Courage is not the absence of despair it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.

Rollo May

Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.

Barbara de Angelis

No man can walk out on his own story.

Spirit of the West

Yet this inconstancy is such As you too shall adore; I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more.

Richard Lovelace

People sometimes imagine that without desire there would be no enjoyment. The opposite is true. When you're caught up in craving, you never really enjoy anything very much because your mind is always pulling you on to the next desire and the next after that. When you let go of desire, then you're free to enjoy whatever is right in front of you.

Lorne Ladner

The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you're still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don't feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms it's a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels.

Carrie Brownstein

He was a wise man who invented God.

Plato

I want to encourage everyone to be proactive with their health and get checked out.

Giuliana Rancic
