A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.

Leaders come in many forms, with many styles and diverse qualities. There are quiet leaders and leaders one can hear in the next county. Some find strength in eloquence, some in judgment, some in courage.

John W. Gardner

It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.

James Caan

Anna Garlin Spencer

There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.

Mother Theresa

Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Thomas Carlyle

This book is not a biography; it is the confession of every man who struggles. In publishing it I have fulfilled my duty, the duty of a person who struggled much, was embittered in his life

Nikos Kazantzakis

I want to make movies about my country from my point of view.

Tommy Lee Jones

While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them

Henry David Thoreau

Woman is the dominant sex. Men have to do all sorts of stuff to prove that they are worthy of woman's attention.

Camille Anna Paglia

Oh, but she never wanted James to grow a day older or Cam either. These two she would have liked to keep for ever just as the way they were, demons of wickedness, angels of delight, never to see them grow up into long-legged monsters.

Virginia Woolf

Trade is much superior to piracy. You can rob and kill a man but once, but you can cheat him again and again.

Louis L'Amour, The Walking Drum

Man's fear of ideas is probably the greatest dike holding back human knowledge and happiness.

Morris L. Ernst
