Do something every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.

Why not spend some time determining what is worthwhile for us, and then go after that?

William Ross

For me, commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred; nor can I detach one duty, like you, from all other duties, and concentrate my forces mechanically on the payment of moneys

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.

Paul Tillich

I've had to do that all my life because my energy is way, way overwhelming.

Picabo Street

When I was doing 'Scarface,' I remember being in love at that time. One of the few times in my life. And I was so glad it was at that time. I would come home and she would tell me about her life that day and all her problems and I remember saying to her, look, you really got me through this picture because I would shed everything when I came home.

Al Pacino

One good thing can be said for inflation: without it there would be no football.

Marty Ragaway

Anyone who has invented a better mousetrap, or the contemporary equivalent, can expect to be harassed by strangers demanding that you read their unpublished manuscripts or undergo the humiliation of public speaking, usually on remote Midwestern campuses.

Barbara Ehrenreich

Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it.

David Hockney

Sometimes I feel like a figment of my own imagination.

Lily Tomlin

Great Britain had a much different situation than we do and did here in the United States, in that they had literally thousands of infected animals with human health risks. Their infectivity in this disease happened before very much was known about it.

Ann Veneman

Science attempts to analyze how things and people and animals behave; it has no concern whether this behavior is good or bad, is purposeful or not. But religion is precisely the quest for such answers: whether an act is right or wrong, good or bad, and why.

Warren Weaver

Everything will be alright in the end so if it is not alright it is not the end.
