Nations! What are nations? Tartars! and Huns! and Chinamen! Like insects they swarm. The historian strives in vain to make them memorable. It is for want of a man that there are so many men. It is individuals that populate the world.

The injuries we do and the injuries we suffer are seldom weighed on the same scales.

Aesop

Chance does not speak essentially through words nor can it be seen in their convolution. It is the eruption of language, its sudden appearance. It's not a night twinkle with stars, an illuminated sleep, nor a drowsy vigil. It is the very edge of consciousness.

Michel Foucault

Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty.

Konstantin Stanislavisky

Shoot a few scenes out of focus. I want to win the foreign film award.

Billy Wilder

It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel.

James Allen

Well I don't know because I don't have a real relationship with the industry.

Danny Glover

The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There's nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.

George Herbert Walker Bush

Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?

Abraham Lincoln

You may not have been responsible for your heritage, but you are responsible for your future.

Anonymous

We hate delays by others, but sometimes it makes us wise.

Proverb

The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee . . . gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.

Leonardo DaVinci

Ninety percent of the things we tend to WORRY about we have no control over, so why worry about them?
