People expect Byzantine, Machiavellian logic from politicians. But the truth is simple. Trial lawyers learn a good rule: 'Don't decide what you don't have to decide.' That's not evasion, it's wisdom.

I never thought of politics as a profession.

Georgios A. Papandreou

Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment; something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being the helpless prey of impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of a savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, and crowning injury inflicts upon him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself.

Paul Ambroise Valery

I go to the gym five days a week and I have a personal trainer. I am on a strict diet, which is kind of hard to keep up with on the road, but I stick to it as well as I can.

Lou Gramm

I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.

David Bowie

Everything in life is a lesson and I have learned from each marriage. Yes, I've made mistakes but every experience is a learning curve.

Patsy Kensit

The air is the only place free from prejudice.

Bessie Coleman

Can you imagine young people nowadays making a study of trigonometry for the fun of it? Well I did.

Clyde Tombaugh

Billy Wilder

War is just when it is necessary arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.

Niccolo Machiavelli

The thing that helped me get into the film business was that I went to school in Athens, Georgia and managed to get on, um, working on music videos for a band called R.E.M. and that kind of opened up a lot of doors for me.

Alton Brown

Government will not fail to employ education, to strengthen its hands, and perpetuate its institutions.

William Godwin

This is the monstrosity in love, lady, that the will is infinite and the execution confined; that the desire is boundless, and the act a slave to limit.

William Shakespeare
