I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.

A woman must combine the role of mother, wife and politician.

Emma Bonino

Patience and time do more than strength or passion.

Jean de La Fontaine

It's funny, but you get to a time in your life when you think you have all the friends you will ever have.

Liam Neeson

To be so bent on Marriage - to pursue a man merely for the sake of situation - is a sort of thing that shocks me; I cannot understand it. Poverty is a great Evil, but to a woman of Education and feeling it ought not, it cannot be the greatest. I would rather be a teacher at a school (and I can think of nothing worse) than marry a man I did not like.

Jane Austen

Maturity is knowing when to be immature.

Randall Hall

An unschooled man who knows how to meditate upon the Lord has learned far more than the man with the highest education who does not know how to meditate.

Charles Stanley

So I wrote what I hoped would be science fiction, I was not at all sure if what I wrote would be acceptable even. But I don't say that I consciously wrote with humour. Humour is a part of you that comes out.

You could read Kant by yourself, if you wanted; but you must share a joke with some one else.

Robert Louis Stevenson

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Voltaire

When one feels no shame in telling a deliberate lie, there is no evil, I tell you, he will not do.
