Few people have ever seriously wished to be exclusively rational. The good life which most desire is a life warmed by passions and touched with that ceremonial grace which is impossible without some affectionate loyalty to traditional form and ceremonies.

My mother always taught me, even my dad, just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.

Ruben Studdard

Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man

Friedrich Nietzsche

There is an enormous number of managers who have retired on the job.

Peter Drucker

Some people like me, some don't. I don't understand, Where the difference comes from. My heart like them all. For a simple childish reason. We all are created equal, we all are humans.

Santosh Kalwar

I know that if I'd had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn't have got anywhere. You don't take exams for acting, you take your courage.

Dame Edith Evans

Hope is the feeling we have that the feeling we have is not permanent.

Mignon McLaughlin

Claudius

An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens

Thomas Jefferson

I would say, stay the hell away from the party scene. Anything you put in front of your goal, and especially something like that, whether it's too much gambling, too much food, too much cold beers on the weekend - anything that you put in front of the prize is going to end up getting in the way and hurting you in the end.

Brad Renfro

I like a bit of a mongrel myself, whether it's a man or a dog; they're the best for every day.
