Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile -- hoping it will eat him last.

Sir Winston Churchill

Vision looks inwards and becomes duty. Vision looks outwards and becomes aspiration. Vision looks upwards and becomes faith.

Stephen Samuel Wise

I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.

Robert Sapolsky

The thing is that love gives us a ringside seat on somebody else's flaws, so of course you're gonna spot some things that kinda need to be mentioned. But often the romantic view is to say, 'If you loved me, you wouldn't criticise me.' Actually, true love is often about trying to teach someone how to be the best version of themselves.

Alain de Botton

If men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.

O. Henry

Teenagers today are more free to be themselves and to accept themselves.

John Knowles

I love working with the quartet. I have more freedom and flexibility.

Boz Scaggs

Stowed away in a Montreal lumber room The Discobolus standeth and turneth his face to the wall; Dusty, cobweb-covered, maimed and set at naught, Beauty crieth in an attic and no man regardeth: O God! O Montreal!

Samuel Butler (novelist)

I'd like to be a wounded leading man. Instead of a pillar of strength, I'd be the scared one.

Jamie Kennedy

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

Annie Lennox

It is possible to give without loving, but it is impossible to love without giving.

Richard Braunstein

The destroyer of weeds, thistles, and thorns is a benefactor whether he soweth grain or not.

Robert G. Ingersoll
