Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.

Life is war.

Ezekiel Carsella

To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul.

George Eliot

I regard sports first and foremost as entertainment, so dry documentary narration is not for me.

Jack Brickhouse

People don't want words, as seductive, pleasant and warming as they can be. People want to see that they're worth some sacrifice or some great deed. And it's not that people are always worth it, it's that love is.

Donna Lynn Hope

I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy.

Serena Williams

The Master of Life's been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat. He has given me life and joy where other saw oblivion. He Has given new purpose to live for, new services to render and old wounds to heal.Life and love go on, let the music play.

Johnny Cash

Dear Habicht, / Such a solemn air of silence has descended between us that I almost feel as if I am committing a sacrilege when I break it now with some inconsequential babble... / What are you up to, you frozen whale, you smoked, dried, canned piece of soul...?

Albert Einstein

Our worst fears, like our greatest hopes, are not outside our powers, and we can come in the end to triumph over the former and to achieve the latter.

Marcel Proust

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?

Mahatma Gandhi

I hope 'The Voice' has a fifteen-year run, don't get me wrong. But I come from nothing, and maybe it's the Irish in me, but my attitude is always like, 'They'll figure me out soon.'

Carson Daly

Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.

Christina Rossetti

A Failure in this Duty did once involve our Nation in all the Horrors of Rebellion and Civil War.

Charles Inglis
