Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.

Fridtjof Nansen

I've always known I would be a success, but I was surprised at the way it came.

Eva Gabor

Looking for and enjoying beauty is a way to nourish the soul. the universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh-baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.

Matthew Fox

When you're in the car, how well you do is down to you and you alone-no band, no management, no marketing.

Nick Mason

It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger.

Gertrude Stein

Oh my son's my son till he gets him a wife, but my daughter's my daughter all her life.

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

Man can acquire accomplishments or he can become an animal, whichever he wants. God makes the animals, man makes himself.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

All Stories are True.

It's just amazing to do something that's part of a pop culture phenomenon.

Quit while you're ahead. All the best gamblers do.

Baltasar Gracian

Memory is the receptacle and case of science: and therefore mine being so treacherous, if I know little, I cannot much complain. I know, in general, the names of the arts, and of what they treat, but nothing more. I turn over books; I do not study them. What I retain I no longerrecognise as another's; 'tis only what my judgment has made its advantage of, the discourses and imaginations in which it has been instructed: the author, place, words, and other circumstances, I immediately forget; and I am so excellent at forgetting, that I no less forget my own writingsand compositions than the rest. I am very often quoted to myself, and am not aware of it. Whoever should inquire of me where I had the verses and examples, that I have here huddled together, would puzzle me to tell him, and yet I have not borrowed them but from famous and known authors, not contenting myself that they were rich, if I, moreover, had them not from rich and honourable hands, where there is a concurrence of authority with reason. It is no great wonder if my book run the same fortune that otherbooks do, if my memory lose what I have written as well as what I have read, and what I give, as well as what I receive.

Michel de Montaigne
