The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts

Failure too is a form of death.

Graham Greene

Where there is no law, but every man does what is right in his own eyes, there is the least of real liberty.

Henry M. Robert

I definitely love that all these car brands are coming out with hybrid forms of every car that they have. It's very awesome because I think it does make a difference, and it doesn't hurt that you save a lot of money on gas.

Lucy Hale

Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.

Evan Esar

There are few better measures of the concern a society has for its individual members and its own well being than the way it handles criminals.

Ramsey Clark

If then, Moses so distinctly announces that there is in us not only a faculty, but also a facility for keeping all commandments, why are we sweating so much? ... What need is there now of Christ or of Spirit? We have found a passage that asserts freedom of choice, but also distinctly teaches that the keeping of the commandments is easy.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Study the best and highest things that are; but of yourself humble thoughts retain.

Joe Davis

Why not seize the pleasure at once? -- How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

Jane Austen

How can we expect somebody else to keep our secret if we cannot keep it ourselves?

George Bernard Shaw

To be a tourist is to escape accountability. Errors and failings don't cling to you the way they do back home. You're able to drift across continents and languages, suspending the operation of sound thought. Tourism is the march of stupidity. You're expected to be stupid. The entire mechanism of the host country is geared to travelers acting stupidly. You walk around dazed, squinting into fold-out maps. You don't know how to talk to people, how to get anywhere, what the money means, what time it is, what to eat or how to eat it. Being stupid is the pattern, the level and the norm. You can exist on this level for weeks and months without reprimand or dire consequence. Together with thousands, you are granted immunities and broad freedoms. You are an army of fools, wearing bright polyesters, riding camels, taking pictures of each other, haggard, dysenteric, thirsty. There is nothing to think about but the next shapeless event.

Don DeLillo

In fact the experience at Oxford has really helped me later in life.

Imran Khan

When I was born . . . the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, I'm very sorry. We did everything we could . . . he still pulled through.
