Seems like most of the kids today are into other sports other than tennis.

The basis of good manners is self-reliance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.

André Gide

Children demand that their heroes should be freckleless, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.

George Eliot

You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

Al Capone

There's no heaven as I had known before. It's just a great universe which is available to be enjoyed by souls who dream about it.

Toba Beta

Knowing how to die is knowing how to live. What is death anyway? It's the outcome of life.

Jeanne Moreau

If it ever occurs to people to value the honour of the mind equally with the honour of the body, we shall get a social revolution of a quite unparalleled sort.

Dorothy L. Sayers

The Colonel ran ahead of me, gleeful at his ejection, and I jogged after him, trailing in his wake. I wanted to be one of those people who have streaks to maintain, who scorch the ground with their intensity. But for now, at least I knew such people, and they needed me, just like comets need tails.

John Green

The thing about all my food is that everything is a remembered flavor. Maybe it's something I had as a child or maybe it's something I had in Milan, but I want it to taste better than you ever thought.

Ina Garten

I'm not a money manager, but I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is. The younger you are, the more risk you can take on.

Maria Bartiromo

I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage, which is going on 14 years, I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead, I think of more like, 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.'

Michael Ian Black

The public interest is best served by the free exchange of ideas.

John Kane
