Money is like fire, an element as little troubled by moralizing as earth, air and water. Men can employ it as a tool or they can dance around it as if it were the incarnation of a god. Money votes socialist or monarchist, finds a profit in pornography or translations from the Bible, commissions Rembrandt and underwrites the technology of Auschwitz. It acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is put.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes.

Rabindranath Tagore

Christmas and the holidays are the season of giving. It's a time when people are more kind and open-hearted.

Spiro T. Agnew

I remember, when I was a little kid, I was good at sports, and I could jump off the high board. And then puberty hit, and suddenly I was looking to boys for direction. I remember that as a great loss.

Francine Prose

I don't dare postulate about science, but I know that it takes both emotion and intellect in order for art to happen.

Michael Clarke Duncan

One that does not think to highly of himself is more than he thinks.

Johann von Goethe

George Will

My religious beliefs teach me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself with that, but to be always ready whenever it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and all men would be equally brave.

Stonewall Jackson

But a science is exact to the extent that its method measures up to and is adequate to its object.

Gabriel Marcel

I always play women I would date.

Angelina Jolie

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. King Solomon
