I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.

I'm thrilled, I'm grateful, I'm blessed. I played for the world's greatest professional sports team in history. Once a Dallas Cowboy, always a Dallas Cowboy.

Bob Hayes

Our masks, always in peril of smearing or cracking, in need of continuous check in the mirror or silverware, keep us in thrall to ourselves, concerned with our surfaces.

Carolyn Kizer

Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share.But whatever happens to you, you still have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analyses, you have got not to forget to laugh.

Katharine Hepburn

If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mousetrap, than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of my first jobs was at the Boston Globe. I worked in the sports department six months a year. When I was ready to graduate, the sports editor gave me a job as a schoolboy sports writer.

Will McDonough

I highly suggest marriage to all my friends who are dating.

Jerry O'Connell

It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies.

Jon Landau

I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.

David Bailey

It's easy to quit smoking. I've done it hundreds of times.

Mark Twain

For as old age is that period of life most remote from infancy, who does not see that old age in this universal man ought not to be sought in the times nearest his birth, but in those most remote from it?

Blaise Pascal

At Christmas, I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story. A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar. They came with their gifts to worship the Christ child.

Queen Elizabeth II

Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962, he was an angry, relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released, he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.
