Sell the sizzle, not the steak.

A story once went the rounds of Israel to the effect that Ben-Gurion described me as 'the only man' in his cabinet. What amused me about is that he (or whoever invented the story) thought that this was the greatest compliment that could be paid to a woman. I very much doubt that any man would have been flattered if I had said about him that he was the only woman in the government!

Golda Meir

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.

George Bernard Shaw

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look. To affect teh quality of the day--that is the highest of arts.

Henry David Thoreau

By recognizing a favorable opinion of yourself, and taking pleasure in it, you in a measure give yourself and your peace of mind into the keeping of another, of whose attitude you can never be certain. You have a new source of doubt and apprehension.

Charles Horton Cooley

The goal of my Foundation is to give young people a chance to better themselves and establish a base for a successful future.

Junior Seau

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.

e. e. cummings

Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.

Socrates

What you think about when you don't have to think, shows what you really are.

David O. McKay

I felt as if I was the only person awake in a city of sleepwalkers. That's an illusion, of course. When you walk through a crowd of strangers it's next door to impossible not to imagine that they're all waxworks, but probably they're thinking just the same about you.

George Orwell

It was so cold today that I saw a dog chasing a cat, and the dog was walking.

Mickey Rivers

I'm not super-conservative, but a bit of tradition is nice.

Josephine de La Baume

The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown. He must dominate in his turn.

Albert Camus
