Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind.

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well.

Patrick Stewart

The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

William Wordsworth

You seemed to be listening to me, not to find out useful information, but to try to catch me in a logical fallacy. This tells us all that you are used to being smarter than your teachers, and that you listen to them in order to catch them making mistakes and prove how smart you are to the other students. This is such a pointless, stupid way of listening to teachers that it is clear you are going to waste months of our time before you finally catch on that the only transaction that matters is a transfer of useful information from adults who possess it to children who do not, and that catching mistakes is a criminal misuse of time.

Orson Scott Card

It's amazing to me that young people will still pick up a cigarette.

Loni Anderson

I met the president when he was president-elect at a meeting in Austin. He spoke of his faith. He spoke of his desire for a compassionate conservatism, for a faith-based initiative that would do something for poor people.

Jim Wallis

The greatest thrill in my life was to represent the United States of America.

Madeleine Albright

God's calling requires action. When God calls you, he calls collect... you better be willing to accept the charges of your calling.

Steve Maraboli

I think we must quote whenever we feel that the allusion is interesting or helpful or amusing.

Clifton Fadiman

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words, like 'What about lunch?'

A. A. Milne

There are always two choices. Two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.

None are more haughty than a common place person raised to power.

Proverb

And what have you laymen made of hell? A kind of penal servitude for eternity, on the lines of your convict prisons on earth, to which you condemn in advance all the wretched felons your police have hunted from the beginning -- enemies of society, as you call them. You're kind enough to include the blasphemers and the profane. What proud or reasonable man could stomach such a notion of God's justice? And when you find that notion inconvenient it's easy enough for you to put it on one side. Hell is not to love any more, Madame. Not to love any more!

Georges Bernanos
