People get so in the habit of worry that if you save them from drowning and put them on a bank to dry in the sun with hot chocolate and muffins they wonder whether they are catching cold.

Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.

Ben Carson

The moment she was cursed, I lost her. Once it wears off- soon- she will be embarrassed to remember things that she said, things she did, things like this. No matter how solid she feels in my arms, she is made of smoke.

Holly Black

Language is the archives of history.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Since the 1960s, we have seen the failure of the melting pot ideology. This ideology suggested that different historical, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds could be subordinated to a larger ideology or social amalgam which is America. This concept obviously did not work, because paradoxically America encourages a politics of contestation.

Edward Said

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today

Franklin D. Roosevelt

I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything; but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.

Helen Keller

Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.

Norah Jones

The mounting burden of taxation not only undermines individual incentives to increased work and earnings, but in a score of ways discourages capital accumulation and distorts, unbalances, and shrinks production. Total real wealth and income is made smaller than it would otherwise be. On net balance there is more poverty rather than less.

Henry Hazlitt

Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?

Benjamin Franklin
