If there is something great in you, it will not appear on your first call. It will not appear and come to you easily, without any work and effort.

The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness.

Christopher Morley

To look pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.

Jane Austen

That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story.

Mitt Romney

Talent is able to achieve what is beyond other people's capacity to achieve, yet not what is beyond their capacity of apprehension; therefore it at once finds its appreciators. The achievement of genius, on the other hand, transcends not only others' capacity of achievement, but also their capacity of apprehension; therefore they do not become immediately aware of it. Talent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach; genius is like the marksman who hits a target, as far as which others cannot even see.

Arthur Schopenhauer, The World a

I was frustrated out of my mind, trying to figure out the will of God. I was doing everything but getting into the presence of God and asking Him to show me.

Paul Little

The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Nothing is ever lost, Sarah. Nothing that can't be found.

Stephen King

When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of space of which I am ignorant, and which knows me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there, why now rather than then?

Blaise Pascal

I think that peace will require two states, a Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state.

Benjamin Netanyahu

Don't worry. Worry is useless. I worried anyway

John Green

Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Kubrick's vision seemed to be that humans are doomed, whereas Clarke's is that humans are moving on to a better stage of evolution.

Marvin Minsky
