The real amazing thing about all of this is I think I've maintained the mentality of a musician throughout it all, which I'm proudest of. And I'm still playing on people's records and singing on people's records.

You are told to love your neighbour as yourself. How do you love yourself? When I look into my own mind, I find that I do not love myself by thinking myself a dear old chap or having affectionate feelings. I do not think that I love myself because I am particularly good, but just because I am myself and quite apart from my character. I might detest something which I have done. Nevertheless, I do not cease to love myself. In other words, that definite distinction that Christians make between hating sin and loving the sinner is one that you have been making in your own case since you were born. You dislike what you have done, but you don't cease to love yourself. You may even think that you ought to be hanged. You may even think that you ought to go to the Police and own up and be hanged. Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock by C

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

Bertrand Russell

Now ... if you trust in yourself ... and believe in your dreams ... and follow your star ... you'll still get beaten by people who spent time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy. Goodbye.

Terry Pratchett

A car for every purse and purpose.

Alfred P. Sloan

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Benjamin Franklin

To win the cause we all believe in, the spread of true democracy all over the world, we need to win by example, not just with speeches but by example not just with military might but by gaining the respect of the world.

Barbara Boxer

Reading the play at home, however fulfilling, can never be the vivacious experience that Shakespeare intended.

Arthur Smith

War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.

Colin Powell

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.

Brian Tracy

Get but a truth once uttered, and 'tis like A star new born that drops into its place; And which, once circling in its placid round, Not all the tumult of the earth can shake. Henceforth the leaves of the tree of knowledge were for women, and for the healing of the nations.

Lucy Stone

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford

Samuel Johnson

Speech is always bolder than action.

Friedrich von Schiller
