I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.

It is often wise to reveal that which cannot be concealed for long.

Friedrich von Schiller

Don't dissipate your powers; strive to concentrate them. Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but it will surely repent of every ill-judged outlay.

Johann von Goethe

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life.

Robert Baden-Powell

I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, he thought. The moon runs away. . . . Then he was sorry for the great fish that had nothing to eat and his determination to kill him never relaxed in his sorrow for him. . . . There is no one worthy of eating him from the manner of his behavior and his great dignity. I do not understand these things, he thought. But it is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.

Ernest Hemingway

Men will bear many things from a kept mistress, which they would not bear from a wife.

Samuel Richardson

Rick Perry

I've had it with being nice, understanding, fair and hopeful. I feel like being negative all day. The chip on my shoulder could sink the QE2. I've got an attitude problem and nobody better get in my way...I'm in a bad mood and the whole stupid little world is gonna pay!

John Waters

I have tamed men of iron in my day, shall I not easily crush these men of butter?

Duke of Alba Ferdinand Alvarez D

Artemus Ward

I am involved with politics today because of the inspiration I received from Ronald Reagan.

Michael K. Simpson

If you don't drink, smoke, or drive a car, you're a tax evader.

Thomas S. Foley

In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person, you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple.

Mark Zuckerberg
