There is probably a perverse pride in my administration... that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who's occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can't be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.

All things must change to something new, to something strange.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

You, too, women, cast away all the cowards from your embraces they will give you only cowards for children, and you who are the daughters of the land of beauty must bear children who are noble and brave.

Giuseppe Garibaldi

I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.

Sir Winston Churchill

Gracefulness is to the body what understanding is to the mind.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I was able to support myself by acting alone about six years ago. Until then, I was just scraping by.

Edie Falco

Marriage is not about age it's about finding the right person.

Sophia Bush

Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Fairy tales opened up a door into my imagination - they don't conform to the reality that's around you as a child. I started reading when I was three and read everything, but I wanted to be an actress.

Kate Atkinson

In the sick room, ten cents' worth of human understanding equals ten dollars' worth of medical science.

Martin H. Fischer

People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.

Graham Greene

The world dominion of western thought, forms of organisation, technology and military force is not God-given, nor eternal, nor greatly appreciated by the rest of the world.

James Buchan

Only in the self we grope To the misty end of time: Truth has put an end to hope. What of all the heart to love? Sadder than for will or soul, No light lured it on above; Love has found itself the whole.

George William Russell
