Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.

Rewards and punishment is the lowest form of education.

Chuang Tzu

The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.

Elizabeth Edwards

I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it's too expensive to change the interface.

Jaron Lanier

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

W. C. Fields

I never saw myself as being ambitious, I saw myself as being in love with the profession. I'm a people person. I love to get to know different kinds of people.

Jack Kelley

He that pursues fame with just claims, trusts his happiness to the winds; but he that endeavors after it by false merit, has to fear, not only the violence of the storm, but the leaks of his vessel.

Samuel Johnson

Just because you have teenagers in a movie doesn't make it a teen movie.

Brendan Fehr

Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.

Steve Buscemi

A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.

Barbara Corcoran

Glory comes too late, after one as been reduced to ashes.

Marcus Valerius Martial

Real education enhances the dignity of a human being and increases his or her self-respect. If only the real sense of education could be realized by each individual and carried forward in every field of human activity, the world will be so much a better place to live in.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?

Virginia Woolf
