People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.

Humility has no home in celebrity. Be humble in your direct dealings with people, but unafraid to trumpet your greatness to the public.

Nkrumah Farrar

The greatest happiness is to transform one's feelings into action.

Madame de Stael

I confess that altruistic and cynically selfish talk seem to me about equally unreal. With all humility, I think whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might, infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbor; you must be living with your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.

Horace

The cheerful loser is the winner.

Elbert Hubbard

If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other, then somehow the original agenda has been lost.

Jaron Lanier

Cessation of work is not accompanied by cessation of expenses.

Cato The Elder

There's the risk of being loved...and that would keep me from being happy.

Albert Camus

I am suffering incessant temptations to uncharitable thoughts at present; one of those black moods in which nearly all one's friends seem to be selfish or even false. And how terrible that there should be even a kind of pleasure in thinking evil.

C.S. Lewis

I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.

Annie Lennox

It (racing) is a matter of spirit, not strength. It is a matter of doing your best each little moment. There's never a break. You must have desire, a very intense desire to keep going.

Janet Guthrie

The great secret of doctors, known only to their wives, but still hidden from the public, is that most things get better by themselves most things, in fact, are better in the morning.

Lewis Thomas
