One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.

We are not created equal in talent. But the place where we are least equal is the heart. You can work at a talent, take lessons, but love, love either works or it doesn't. You love someone or you don't. You can't change it. You can't undo it.

Laurell K Hamilton

Do you wish people to believe good of you? Don't speak.

Blaise Pascal

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. In order for you yourself to become the way, the truth, and the life, you must embrace the whole universe and bring harmony to it.

I bear a charmed life.

William Shakespeare

Those who forgets their friends to follow those of a higher status are truly snobs.

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.

Steve Maraboli

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Goodwill is the one and only asset that competition cannot undersell or destroy.

Marshall Field

I'm a hopeless romantic and passionate person when it comes to love.

Jennifer Lopez

I'm not going to take this defeatist attitude and listen to all this crap any more from all these people who have nothing except doomsday to predict.

Carroll Shelby

The contract between the author and the reader is a game. And the game . . . is one of the greatest invetions of Western civilization: the game of telling stories, inventing characters, and creating the imaginary paradise of the individual, from whence no one can be expelled because, in a novel, no one owns the truth and everyone has the right to be heard and understood.

Carlos Fuentes

All my life, whenever it comes time to make a decision, I make it and forget about it.

Harry S Truman
