Some people drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

Some of their best songs don't have bridges and choruses. So that made me think I should trust my instincts. My songs were okay, I figured. I didn't need to change anything.

Linda Gray

Adam Clayton

Ideas won't keep, something must be done about them.

Alfred North Whitehead

Life is a slope. As long as you're going up you're always looking towards the top and you feel happy, but when you reach it, suddenly you can see the road going downhill and death at the end of it all. It's slow going up and quick going down.

Guy de Maupassant

Sydney J. Harris

I'm the whitest guy you will ever meet. The first time I saw an African-American, my dad had to tell me to stop staring.

Glenn Beck

John Green

Alack, there lies more peril in thine eyeThan twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet,And I am proof against their enmity.

William Shakespeare

The secret of getting things done is to act!

Dante Alighieri

Work is a blessing. God has so arranged the world that work is necessary, and He gives us hands and strength to do it. The enjoyment of leisure would be nothing if we had only leisure. It is the joy of work well done that enables us to enjoy rest, just as it is the experiences of hunger and thirst that make food and drink such pleasures.

Elisabeth Elliot
