During my nearly five years as director-general of WHO, high-level policymakers have increasingly recognized that health is central to sustainable development.

We owe a huge debt to Galileo for emancipating us all from the stupid belief in an Earth-centered or man-centered (let alone God-centered) system. He quite literally taught us our place and allowed us to go on to make extraordinary advances in knowledge.

Christopher Hitchens

Pointing is a metaphor we all know. We've done a lot of studies and tests on that, and it's much faster to do all kinds of functions, such as cutting and pasting, with a mouse, so it's not only easier to use but more efficient.

Steve Jobs

One lesson we learn early, that in spite of seeming difference, men are all of one pattern. We readily assume this with our mates, and are disappointed and angry if we find that we are premature, and that their watches are slower than ours. In fact, the only sin which we never forgive in each other is difference of opinion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Edible substances evoke the secretion of thick, concentrated saliva. Why? The answer, obviously, is that this enables the mass of food to pass smoothly through the tube leading from the mouth into the stomach.

Ivan Pavlov

Truth is not as pompous and romantic as myth ... but it has the immeasurable value of being the Truth.

Felix Alba-Juez

Aviation - and space travel, in particular - have always been especially captivating.

Felix Baumgartner

You have to come in and be that character when you walk into the room. That's what one of my first acting teachers taught me. You know, don't go in there being Jennifer and then expect to flip and change, because they're not going to have that imagination.

Jennifer Lopez

I'm one of those women who likes to chat and share knowledge and pass it around.

Jennie Garth

Somehow, we have gotten off track from the basics of health and spirituality, and we get in our own way.

Alice McCall

Levity is often less foolish and gravity less wise than each of them appears.

Charles Caleb Colton

Julia progresses from cradle to grave, showing how government makes every good thing in her life possible. The weak economy, high unemployment, falling wages, rising gas prices, the national debt, the insolvency of entitlements - all these are fictionally assumed away in a cartoon that is produced by a president who wants us to forget about them.

Mitt Romney

As long as you understand that you find happiness through family, friends and love, then money is just a nice bonus.

Ioan Gruffudd
