It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love, The matron's glance that would those looks reprove.

Oliver Goldsmith

Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.

Edward Abbey

In the television age, the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.

Richard M. Nixon

A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.

Albert Camus

The thing with me. I can't stick musicians. I've thought about this. I can't stand them, and being stuck in a studio with them I think that's my strength I can hear what they can't.

Mark E. Smith

Once you become successful, people know where you live, the type of house you live in, the kind of car you drive, the clothes you wear, and so it would be patronising to go and talk like a welder. Welding's a mystery to me now. You can't go back, your life changes every day.

Billy Connolly

If everyone saw himself as a citizen of the world rather than of his town, city or country, the world would be a more peaceful, better place where success in all forms is abundant and available to all. (A Gift to My Children)

Jim Rogers

And since you know you cannot see yourself, so well as by reflection, I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself, that of yourself which you yet know not of.

William Shakespeare

I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.

Katy Perry

I've always been a bit of a car freak.

Eric Bana
