A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.

Ann Bancroft

Barbara Feldon

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control these three alone lead one to sovereign power.

Alfred Tennyson

Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.

Christopher Morley

Moreover, as the leadership of the House confirmed last year, the Administration remains opposed to a congressional resolution on the Armenian Genocide due to Turkish objections. This approach sends absolutely the wrong signal to Turkey and to the rest of the world.

Patrick J. Kennedy

Bertrand Russell

The intelligence of that creature known as a crowd is the square root of the number of people in it.

Terry Pratchett

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.

Henry David Thoreau

The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.

Sir Winston Churchill

We're practical and sensible but we're also dreamers. Don't forget that part of you. There's nothing wrong with being sensible, but dreams are what make you fly. And you're destined to touch the sky.

S.H. Kolee

I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else. Excitement about the subject is the voltage which pushes me over the mountain of drudgery necessary to produce the final photograph.
