Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals.

You're worth so much more than anything I can give you. If you can't believe that right now, believe in me.

C.J. Redwine

If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.

Epictetus

War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Once I make up my mind, I'm full of indecision.

Oscar Levant

But I didn't really enjoy my secondary education that much, probably because I am a very physical person and don't enjoy sitting at a desk all day. I just dragged myself through GCSE and A Levels, so it suited me very much to go on to drama school, which was very active.

Amanda Burton

I want to be remembered as somebody that tried to respect her integrity as an artist and as a person. And I don't want to be in any box. I don't want to be one thing.

Penelope Cruz

Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don't complain.

Billy Graham

Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.

Paulo Coelho

What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature are shot down wholesale.

Hermann Hesse

I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

Abraham Lincoln

I don't need a holiday or a feast to feel grateful for my children, the sun, the moon, the roof over my head, music, and laughter, but I like to take this time to take the path of thanks less traveled.

Paula Poundstone

The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.

Voltaire
