We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us.

The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

Allyson Felix

The words of kindness are more healing to a drooping heart than balm or honey.

Sarah Fielding

The difference between people who believe they have books inside of them and those who actually write books is sheer cussed persistence - the ability to make yourself work at your craft, every day - the belief, even in the face of obstacles, that you've got something worth saying.

Jennifer Weiner

And they like being able to turn on the television day in and day out to see someone that they know and they feel comfortable with and trust hopefully and respect even.

Katie Couric

We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life.

James Freeman Clarke

I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips.

Tyra Banks

Gustav Mahler

The truth is an ambition which is beyond us.

Peter Ustinov

When I listen to music, I don't want to hear about flowers. I like death and destruction.

Jonathan Davis

I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden (cha

Natalie Gulbis

It's all about having fun and smiling and shaking hands.
