The opinions that are held with passion are always those for which no good ground exists; indeed the passion is the measure of the holder's lack of rational conviction. Opinions in politics and religion are almost always held passionately.

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

Hairstyles change, and skirt lengths, and slang, but high school administrations? Never.

The only reason this country is different from any place else is that once in a great while, this huge, snobbish, generally untalented news reporting business stops covering stories of interest only to itself and actually serves the public.

It's what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny... It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your destiny. It prepares your spirit and you will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.

Paulo Coelho

A global democracy works only when countries trust one another.

Armstrong Williams

Niklaus Wirth

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Albert Einstein

There are different kinds of humor, some is sarcastic, some introspective. Introspective fit my personality better.

Rita Rudner

Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you.

Langston Hughes

If I have any justification for having lived it's simply, I'm nothing but faults, failures and so on, but I have tried to make a good pair of shoes. There's some value in that.

Arthur Miller

You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it's all about family.

Rod Stewart
