We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim -- objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.

They are the weakest-minded and the hardest-hearted men that most love change.

John Ruskin

We have no problems with Jews and highly respect Judaism as a holy religion.

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

Change cannot and will not happen overnight. But the intent to evolve will produce opportunities for growth.

I am afraid that this chapter will amply demonstrate the truth of Clarke's 69th Law, viz., Reading computer manuals without the hardware is as frustrating as reading sex manuals without the software. In both cases the cure is simple though usually very expensive.

Arthur C. Clarke

Spiritual force is stronger than material force thoughts rule the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.

Virginia Satir

I love unique things that not everyone has. I believe its all about how you wear an outfit, not how much it costs or where it's from. Elegance is the key.

Sasha Jackson

The way that organizations and organisms anticipate the future is by taking signals from the past, most the time.

Kevin Kelly

There's a continuity between what I care about in any form: I care about it in my music, in article-writing, in how I dress, in how I live, in my relationships, in how I navigate paparazzi, how I decorate my home. There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.

Alanis Morissette

We are the number one economy in the world, and we ought to continue to pursue those kinds of policies that ensure that we maintain that position, like innovation and like technology and like education and like just research and development and discovery.

Donald Evans

I always wanted to be a zookeeper when I was growing up, and I've wound up a zookeeper! I've been working with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years! I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet because my life is divided absolutely in half - half animals and half show business. You can't ask for better than two things you love the most.

Betty White

The reward of one duty done is the power to fulfill another

George Eliot
