Sometimes we want something so bad, but when we get it, there is still an emptiness inside. The real secret is to enjoy the journey to the goal and learn from all the experiences.

Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.

Dan Millman

A man is morally free when, in full possession of his living humanity, he judges the world, and judges other men, with uncompromising sincerity.

George Santayana

Mom never quit on me. My only regret is that she didn't live long enough to share some of the money and comforts my work in show business has brought me.

Ethel Waters

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention . . . arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Agatha Christie, An Autobiograph

It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

Proverb

I always voted at my party's call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.

William Gilbert

Life's there to make the most of, and that's what I do.

Patrick Rafter

There comes a moment in the day when you have written your pages in the morning, attended to your correspondence in the afternoon, and have nothing further to do. Then comes that hour when you are bored; that's the time for sex.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

Coco J. Ginger

No one ever found wisdom without also being a fool. Writers, alas, have to be fools in public, while the rest of the human race can cover its tracks.

Erica Jong

Hopes are but the dreams of those that wake.

Matthew Prior

Isaiah Berlin
