My philosophy is to do the best you can for somebody. Help. It's not just what do you for yourself. It's how you treat people decently. The golden rule. There isn't big anything better than the golden rule. It's in every major religion in one language or another.

My nervous system is enfeebled, only work in oils can sustain me.

Paul Cezanne

We are tiny flames, Helikaon, and we flicker alone in the great dark for no more than a heartbeat. When we strive for wealth, glory and fame, it is meaningless. The nations we fight for will one day cease to be. Even the mountains we gaze upon will crumble to dust. To truly live we must yearn for that which does not die.

David Gemmell

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

Charles Dickens

A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know.

Dwight L. Moody

Never write an advertisement which you wouldn't want your own family to read. You wouldn't tell lies to your own wife. Don't tell them to mine. Do as you would be done by. If you tell lies about a product, you will be found out -- either by the Government, which will prosecute you, or by the consumer, who will punish you by not buying your product a second time. Good products can be sold by honest advertising. If you don't think the product is good, you have no business to be advertising it.

David Ogilvy

I've directed seven movies and know a thing or two about dealing with unexpected crises.

Penny Marshall

The religious definition of truth is not that it is universal but that it is absolute.

W.H. Auden

Do not judge your neighbor until you walk two moons in his moccasins.

American Indian Proverb, Cheyenn

Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?

George Eliot

See it big, and keep it simple.

Wilferd A. Peterson

It doesn't make you a monster to want, she said, her voice very gentle. It's what you do with it that matters.

Jim Butcher

The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.
