Nashville is one of the greatest places for the best songwriters in the world. It's been fantastic to live there and to raise our family there. It's a great town.

I can never suppose this country so far lost to all ideas of self-importance as to be willing to grant America independence; if that could ever be adopted I shall despair of this country being ever preserved from a state of inferiority and consequently falling into a very low class among the European States.

Erika Christensen

I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.

Attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God. I plead not for the suppression of reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies reason.

Mahatma Gandhi

It's not life or death it's a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser.

Bernhard Langer

I love change, I need it.

Rod Stewart

A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

Hedy Lamarr

It is impossible to practice parliamentary politics without having patience, decency, politeness and courtesy.

Khaleda Zia

A good scare is worth more than good advice.
