I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out.

Jeff Bezos

All human beings are commingled out of good and evil.

Robert Louis Stevenson

The worst thing about that kind of prejudice... is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it, it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking, perhaps I am not good enough.

Nina Simone

In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.

Gerald Brenan

If you have tried to do something and failed, you are vastly better off than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded. You must never regret what might have been. The past that did not happen is as hidden from us as the future we cannot see.

Richard Martin Stern

Christopher Walken

A miracle is nothing more or less than this. Anyone who has come into a knowledge of his true identity, of his oneness with the all-pervading wisdom and power, this makes it possible for laws higher than the ordinary mind knows of to be revealed to him.

Ralph Waldo Trine

To escape and sit quietly on the beach - that's my idea of paradise.

Emilia Wickstead

Judges don't age; time decorates them.

Enid Bagnold

Marcus Aurelius

A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.

Charles Lamb
