Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing in life is to know when to forego an advantage.

Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it.

Lionel Richie

Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully.

Graham Greene

Albert Einstein when asked what he considered to be the most powerful force in the universe answered: Compound interest! What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.

Mignon McLaughlin

Our conjectures pass upon us for truths; we will know what we do not know, and often, what we cannot know: so mortifying to our pride is the base suspicion of ignorance.

Lord Chesterfield

If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.

Thomas Carlyle

We have here a human as well as an economic problem. When humane considerations are concerned, Americans give them precedence. The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fibre. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own.

Virginia Woolf

putriku menaiki lidah petir.membangunkan setiap raksasa malas.mengejarnya hingga sudutsudut kebun hidup.menggambar pertentangan dan kehancuran.

Dorothea Rosa Herliany

And for all he had learned to bandage himself up on the outside, the wound remained just as bad and deep as the moment it had been made - when it became obvious that the one male he wanted above all others was never, ever going to be with him.

J.R. Ward

In this game, by trying to win; you automatically lose.

Ruth Ross

A baby is born into this world in a state of fear. Total paranoia and awareness. He sees the world with eyes not used yet. As he grows up, his parents lay all this stuff on him. They tell him, when they should be letting him tell them. Let the children lead you.

Charles Manson

Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.

John F. Kennedy
