Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today.

The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Elisabeth Bishop

I already gave my best. I have no regrets at all.

William Hung

Necessity, who is the mother of invention.

Plato

I'm lonely. Why do you think I had to learn to act so independent? I also get mad too quickly, and I hog the covers, and my second toe is longer than my big one. My hair has it's own zip code. Plus, I get certifiably crazy when I've got PMS. You don't love someone because they're perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that they're not.

Jodi Picoult

It seemed that rebellion must have an unassailable base, something guarded not merely from attack, but from the fear of it: such a base as we had in the Red Sea Parts, the desert, or in the minds of the men we converted to our creed.

T. E. Lawrence

In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.

Mortimer J. Adler

Al Gore, the former vice-president of the United States, lives in a mansion that uses more electricity than the average family's bungalow! David Suzuki rides on a bus that uses more fuel than a Smart car to get across Canada! Oh my God! And this is just the tip of the vanishing iceberg!

Linwood Barclay

One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.

Ramakrishna

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not something to be waited for, but something to be achieved.

William Jennings Bryan

In government offices which are sensitive to the vehemence and passion of mass sentiment public men have no sure tenure. They are in effect perpetual office seekers, always on trial for their political lives, always required to court their restless constituents. They are deprived of their independence. Democratic politicians rarely feel they can afford the luxury of telling the whole truth to the people. And since not telling it, though prudent, is uncomfortable, they find it easier if they themselves do not have to hear too often too much of the sour truth. The men under them who report and collect the news come to realize in their turn that it is safer to be wrong before it has become fashionable to be right.

Walter Lippmann

Until input thought is linked to a goal purpose there can be no intelligent accomplishment.

Paul G. Thomas

I'm eating a lot of organic proteins and vegetables! Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is my No. 1 priority because I'm nursing my daughter.

Lily Aldridge
