Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.

Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.

Blaise Pascal

I hope that we can continue this cooperation on other critical issues related to America's future technological competitiveness. We must work together to encourage the creative talents that have made our country the world leader in technology.

Dan Lipinski

Her face was a synthesis of perfect symmetry and unusual proportion; he could have gazed at it for hours, trying to locate the source of its fascination.

J.K. Rowling

I was four years old, and had long since reasoned that it was folly to expect the big things from people. It was enough to get the little things. The biggest thing, of course, was love, the nearness of somebody you love when you need somebody to be near.

William Saroyan

All pressure is self-inflicted. It's what you make of it or how you let it rub off on you.

Sebastian Coe

I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.

Gordon Ramsay

You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

I shall try to persuade first the Rulers and soldiers, and then the rest of the community, that the upbringing and education we have given them was all something that happened to them only in a dream. In reality they were fashioned and reared, and their arms and equipment manufactured, in the depths of the earth, and Earth herself, their mother, brought them up, when they were complete, into the light of day; so now they must think of the land in which they live as their mother and protect her if she is attacked, while their fellow citizens they must regard as brothers born of the same mother earth. That is the story. Do you know of any way of making them believe it? Not in the first generation, he said, but you might succeed with the second, and later generations.

Plato

What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen.

Evelyn Waugh

I have always found that if I move with seventy-five percent or more of the facts that I usually never regret it. It's the guys who wait to have everything perfect that drive you crazy.

Lee Iacocca

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in.

Abraham Lincoln

If it's a good script I'll do it. And if it's a bad script, and they pay me enough, I'll do it.

George Burns
