Praising an honest person who doesn't deserve it, always wounds them.

You can forget trying to climb the success ladder, all you will ever need in life is brought to you in the Cosmic Ordering elevator.

Stephen Richards

Never meet trouble half-way.

John Ray

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

Rose Byrne

A prison taint was on everything there. The imprisoned air, the imprisoned light, the imprisoned damps, the imprisoned men, were all deteriorated by confinement. As the captive men were faded and haggard, so the iron was rusty, the stone was slimy, the wood was rotten, the air was faint, the light was dim. Like a well, like a vault, like a tomb, the prison had no knowledge of the brightness outside; and would have kept its polluted atmosphere intact, in one of the spice islands of the Indian Ocean.

Charles Dickens

I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.

Sheryl Sandberg

I hope and trust the infinite, the eternal, and merciful and loving God. I worship Him and feel no guilt in my heart before him for what I am going to do.

Alex Campbell

Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it.

Donna Lynn Hope

O Lord, if there is a Lord, save my soul, if I have a soul.

Joseph Ernst Renan

The joy of life is variety; the tenderest love requires to be rekindled by intervals of absence

Samuel Johnson

It is, indeed, part of the liberal attitude to assume that, especially in the economic field, the self-regulating forces of the market will somehow bring about the required adjustments to new conditions, although no one can foretell how they will do this in a particular instance. There is perhaps no single factor contributing so much to people

Friedrich A. Hayek

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Plutarch

The sharp employ the sharp.

Douglas William Jerrold
