Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.

Greater even than the pious man is he who eats that which is the fruit of his own toil; for scripture declares him twice-blessed.

The Talmud

The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction.

William Shatner

What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings -- they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.

Norman Douglas

I read the book of Job last night, I don't think God comes out well in it.

Virginia Woolf

People, y'know, they either love us or they hate us; there's no middle ground.

Ace Frehley

Ignorance is a voluntary misfortune.

Nicholas Ling

My heart does not desire what my eyes does not admire.

Habeeb Akande

Right now a lot of people are still choosing to go to Toronto instead of shooting in New York City, something I haven't done and something I hope I'll never have to do.

Spike Lee

We have more than we use.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Any consideration of the life and larger social existence of the modern corporate man begins and also largely ends with the effect of one all-embracing force. That is organization -- the highly structured assemblage of men, and now some women, of which he is a part. It is to this, at the expense of family, friends, sex, recreation and sometimes health and effective control of alcoholic intake, that he is expected to devote his energies.

John Kenneth Galbraith

If you add a little to a little and do this often, soon the little will become great.

Hesiod

The territorial state is such an ancient form of society - here in Europe it dates back thousands of years - that it is now protected by the sanctity of age and the glory of tradition. A strong religious feeling mingles with the respect and the devotion to the fatherland.
