O God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small.

Bands are about these little relationships that make everything tick, and when you create new music you're testing those relationships.

Jonathan Cain

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. And that's my religion.

Abraham Lincoln

We all want to be happy, and we're all going to die. You might say those are the only two unchallengeably true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.

William Boyd

What if I couldn't handle people's opinions of me? I know that shouldn't dictate a person's degree of peace or happiness in life, but the problem is, I chose a business saturated in judgment.

Chris Evans

What he realised, and more clearly as time went on, was that money-worship has been elevated into a religion. Perhaps it is the only real religion-the only felt religion-that is left to us. Money is what God used to be. Good and evil have no meaning any longer except failure and success. Hence the profoundly significant phrase, to make good. The decalogue has been reduced to two commandments. One for the employers-the elect, the money priesthood as it were- 'Thou shalt make money'; the other for the employed- the slaves and underlings'- 'Thou shalt not lose thy job.' It was about this time that he came across The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and read about the starving carpenter who pawns everything but sticks to his aspidistra. The aspidistra became a sort of symbol for Gordon after that. The aspidistra, the flower of England! It ought to be on our coat of arms instead of the lion and the unicorn. There will be no revolution in England while there are aspidistras in the windows.

George Orwell

You have to love your children unselfishly. That is hard. But it is the only way.

Barbara Bush

A sneer is the weapon of the weak.

James Russell Lowell

It is books that teach us to refine our pleasures when young, and to recall them with satisfaction when we are old.

Leigh Hunt

Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism, and find criticism subversive.

Henry Steele Commager

I can do nothing without His help. Oh, Lord, what ignorance thinking everything was wealth.

Venus Angelica Perez

Real-life people are often the hardest to play, people that you recreate who have actually lived, because you have to live up to people's knowledge of those characters.

Derek Jacobi

The Warrior looks at the column of Fear, where he reads: you are about to enter an unknown and dangerous world where all that you have learned up to now will be of no use whatsoever.The Warrior of Light looks at the column of Desire, where he reads: you are about to leave a known world where all the things you always wanted and all that you have fought so hard for are kept.The Warrior smiles, because nothing can frighten him and nothing can hold him. With the confidence of those who know what they want, he opens the door.
