There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker if sad, it must not scream or curse.

I don't have an iPod. I mean, I have a couple. Doesn't everyone? But I don't use it. I need to because I go to the gym now, and I'm tired of listening to morning radio. I want some music! I do have a video iPod, but I don't use it either.

Among all the world's races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels of their public administration that tendency is impressive. It is rather that so much of what they themselves believe is wrong.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Peak performers develop powerful mental images of the behavior that will lead to the desired results. They see in their mind's eye the result they want, and the actions leading to it.

Charles A. Garfield

She fights and vanquishes in me, and I live and breathe in her, and I have life and being.

Miguel de Cervantes

The faith that stands on authority is not faith.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The American economy has always been driven by the entrepreneurial nature of its citizens, and blocking access to affordable health care will only suffocate growth within the small business sector of our economy.

Paul Gillmor

I love sharing my stories and experiences with people and connecting to them on both a humorous and emotional level.

Tori Spelling

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

M. Scott Peck

Beware of one who has nothing to lose.

Italian Proverb

If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.

Epictetus

Religion can make it worse. Are you supposing that if people were encouraged to believe in a transcendent reality, and to be encouraged by grand rituals and music and preaching, to love their neighbors, then they would put jealousy and frustration aside?

Mary Douglas

It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that's all. People see what they think is there.

Terry Pratchett
