Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom.

Leisure time should be an occasion for deep purpose to throb and for ideas to ferment. Where a man allows leisure to slip without some creative use, he has forfeited a bit of happiness.

C. Neil Strait

Perfection is immutable. But for things imperfect, change is the way to perfect them.

Owen Felltham

With a lot of hair and make-up then I'm possibly, remotely attractive. But it's rare, I don't think I'm ugly but I'm nothing particularly special. I'm not a yoga and health girl. I don't exercise that much and I eat crap and smoke and bite my nails.

Lisa Marie Presley

Waves of hands, hesitations at street corners, someone dropping a cigarette into the gutter-all are stories. But which is the true story? That I do not know. Hence I keep my phrases hung like clothes in a cupboard, waiting for some one to wear them. Thus waiting, thus speculating, making this note and then an· other I do not cling to life. I shall be brushed like a bee from a sunflower. My philosophy, always accumulating, welling up moment by moment, runs like quicksilver a dozen ways at once.

Virginia Woolf

I can't stop being in parades. I just love dancing on floats that move really slowly on the city streets in the early morning.

Chris Kattan

A great thing can only be done by a great person; and they do it without effort.

John Ruskin

Moving on, starting to change perceptions and way of living after living problems is a sign of maturity, because that person understands the situation he or she is facing.

Vinh Khanh Huynh

A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

Grace Hopper

With audacity one can undertake anything, but not do everything.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Sure my rose-colored glasses don't let me see the world for what it is NOW but what they allow is the chance to see what the world would look like if people cared enough to plant more roses

Matthew Goldfinger

You don't seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has hope. He thinks money would help.

Jean Kerr

Die Männer heiraten, weil sie müde sind, die Frauen, weil sie neugierig sind. Beide werden enttäuscht.

Oscar Wilde
