People love as self-recognition what they hate as an accusation.

Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of the year.

Franklin Pierce Adams

I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.

O. J. Simpson

All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man had taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Among Life's precious jewels, Genuine and rare, The one that we call friendship Has worth beyond compare.

Heck by the time a man scratches his behind, clears his throat, and tells me how smart he is, we've already wasted fifteen minutes.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Justice consists in doing no injury to men decency in giving them no offense.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

We did not learn how to feel or experience our bodies, how to appreciate our own strengths, how to value or respect or understand the packages we came in. Instead, we learned how to look at them, to pair sexuality with desirability, to measure the worth of our bodies by their capacity to elicit admiration from others.

Caroline Knapp

Google is a global Rorschach test. We see in it what we want to see. Google has built an infrastructure that makes a lot of dreams closer to reality.

John Battelle

For what is a poem, but a hazardous attempt at self-understanding. It is the deepest part of autobiography.

Robert Penn Warren

John Conyers

Mistakes are your school of learning therefore forgiveness is your greatest teacher in this school of learning.

Stephen Richards

Of course all life is a process of breaking down, but the blows that do the dramatic side of the work - the big sudden blows that come, or seem to come, from outside - the ones you remember and blame things on and, in moments of weakness, tell your friends about, don't show their effect all at once. There is another sort of blow that comes from within - that you don't feel until it's too late to do anything about it, until you realize with finality that in some regard you will never be as good a man again. The first sort of breakage seems to happen quick - the second kind happens almost without your knowing it but is realized suddenly indeed. Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation - the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.http://www.thirteen.org/pressroom/release.php?get=1640
