A nation which makes the final sacrifice for life and freedom does not get beaten.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal -- a commitment to excellence -- that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

Mario Andretti

I had a girlfriend that was so fat she had her own postal code.

Rodney Dangerfield

I'm tired of watching you be in love with someone else someone who will never love you back, not the way I do.

Cassandra Clare

When a friend, then, indulges in the joy of unburdening a secret on to another friend's bosom, he makes the latter, in his turn, feel the urge to taste the same joy himself. He implores him, it is true, not to tell a soul; but if such a condition were taken absolutely literally, it would at once cut off the flow of these joys at their very source. The general practice is for the secret to be confided only to an equally trustworthy friend, the same conditions being imposed on him. And so from trustworthy friend to trustworthy friend the secret goes moving on round that immense chain, until finally it reaches the ears of just the very person or persons whom the first talker had expressly intended it never should reach.

Alessandro Manzoni

Some of the greatest lessons you learn in life are the ones communicated without a single word spoken.

Steve Maraboli

..It occurs to me that the peculiarity of most things we think of as fragile is how tough they truly are. There were tricks we did with eggs, as children, to show how they were, in reality, tiny load-bearing marble halls; while the beat of the wings of a butterfly in the right place, we are told, can create a hurricane across an ocean. Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.

Neil Gaiman

Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values.... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.

I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.

Alexander Wang

Unexplained joy is always so keen that... it seems to hold enough to reconcile one to the inevitable.

Jessie B. Fremont

I don't think we're living in great times for movies, to tell you the truth.

Gabriel Byrne

The only real security in a relationship lies neither in looking back in nostalgia, nor forward in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now.
