Religion does not help me. The faith that others give to what is unseen, I give to what one can touch, and look at. My gods dwell in temples made with hands; and within the circle of actual experience is my creed made perfect and complete: too complete, it may be, for like many or all of those who have placed their heaven in this earth, I have found in it not merely the beauty of heaven, but the horror of hell also.

The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.

Marcel Proust

Between whom there is hearty truth, there is love.

Henry David Thoreau

Plans are nothing; planning is everything.

Dwight D Eisenhower

Stumbling is not falling.

Proverb

Permanent superiority has never been realized by any nation in history. After the rise comes the fall.

Paul Harris

I am convinced we shall succeed. I have faith in this country, because I have faith in its people.

Horst Koehler

It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel.

James Allen

A comedian's body is funny as well as his mind being funny, his whole personage is funny.

Bobby Darin

Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself.

Leo Tolstoy

I hope to inspire people, influence people.

Ashley Tisdale

When you look at where the real problems are among minorities in our society, particularly blacks, it's at the bottom. It's the people who are in school systems that don't educate, neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime, drugs, the whole bit.

Clarence Thomas

If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn't be here. It'd still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.

Ronald Reagan
