Rainn Wilson

Philip Dormer Stanhope

No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clich?s that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him. The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart's blood.

W. Somerset Maugham

Maybe it just means that love can be stronger than fear.

L.J. Smith

Oswald Chambers

Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing.

Eric Davis

He who tampers with the currency robs labor of its bread.

Daniel Webster

The most dangerous thing in the world is to try to leap a chasm in two jumps.

David Lloyd George

Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist.

David BenGurion

Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

George Bernard Shaw
