Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.

The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.

Barbara Bush

She could afford anything, she could give anything, but she could not share a moment of her life with anybody. Shewas a beautiful and a glamorous diamond with an astronomical price tag, but to a crude reality she was still a stone, a living stone. Nothing else but a stone in an aesthetic sense.

Ravindra Shukla

Thug: This is a stickup! Now come on. Your money or your life.

Jack Benny

The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

Anthony Robbins

Boy's natural play is rough and tumble play, it's the universal play of little boys. And it's very different from aggression. And we are a society that's failing to understand the distinction.

Christina Hoff Sommers

What the cinema can do better than literature or the spoken drama is to be fantastic.

Aldous Huxley

Christopher Hitchens

Jane Austen

Caroll Shelby

I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, What for? I said, I'm going to buy some sugar.

Steven Wright

I have not much interest in anyone's personal history after the tenth year, not even my own. Whatever one was going to be was all prepared before that.

Katherine Anne Porter

I'm only wanted by directors for the image I give off, and it makes me angry. I always wanted to be an actor and not a beauty pageant winner.

Jude Law
