My mom is a sculptress.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

Blaise Pascal

When you start a business, go for the lowest hanging fruit.

Ice T

Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

It is well to love even a dog when you have the opportunity, for fear you should find nothing else worth loving

Louise Honorine de Choiseul

People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way.

Ashly Lorenzana

I've always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render.

Barbara Kingsolver

On completely popular government: Its superiority in reference to present well-being rests upon two principles, of as universal truth and applicability as any general propositions which can be laid down respecting human affairs. The first is, that the rights and interests of every or any person are only secure from being disregarded, when the person interested is himself able, and habitually disposed, to stand up for them. The second is, that the general prosperity attains a greater height, and is more widely diffused, in proportion to the amount and variety of the personal energies enlisted in promoting it.

John Stuart Mill

It is true that when we take chances, we stand to lose. But it is also true that we will never win anything if we never even enter the game. Lucky people are aware of the possibility of losing, and indeed they may lose often. But since the chances they take are small, the losses tend to be small. By being willing to accept small losses, they put themselves in position to make large gains.

Max Gunther

A woman must be a genius to create a good husband.

Honore de Balzac

There are moments when very little truth would be enough to shape opinion. One might be hated at extremely low cost.

Jean Rostand

Clinton and Obama practice this politics known quaintly as the Richard Speck strategy: if you cannot take on everyone in the room at once, take them out of the room one at a time.

Grover Norquist

I mean, I'd love to have a private jet - I know people who fly by private jet all the time... I've hitched a ride a few times and it is not overrated at all it's a great way to travel!

Marc Jacobs
