I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.

Isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be part of it?

Richard Dawkins

No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

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

Fridtjof Nansen

Evolution is gaining the psychic zones of the world... life, being and ascent of consciousness, could not continue to advance indefinitely along its line without transforming itself in depth. The being who is the object of his own reflection, in consequence, of that very doubling back upon himself becomes in a flash able to raise himself to a new sphere.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Many of my books come from what if questions that I can't answer, things that I'm worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American.

Jodi Picoult

Thomas Carlyle

If you really believe that all men are created equal, you are comfortable in any company.

Michael Lipsey

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Napoleon Hill

A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.

John Malkovich

In endowing us with memory, nature has revealed to us a truth utterly unimaginable to the unreflective creation, the truth of immortality. The most ideal human passion is love, which is also the most absolute and animal and one of the most ephemeral.

George Santayana

It is because Humanity has never known where it was going that it has been able to find its way.

Oscar Wilde
