Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature necessity, and can believe nothing else.

Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity.

Ludwig Feuerbach

You may think the president is all-powerful, but he is not. He needs a lot of guidance from the Lord.

Barbara Bush

I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.

Bill Nighy

Friends are very important to me, and I have always had many of them. There are probably many reasons why this is so, but two seem to me more valid than any of the others I am a naturally friendly person, and I hate to be alone.

Georg Solti

Death makes no conquest of this conqueror: For now he lives in fame, though not in life.

William Shakespeare

When I look out at the people and they look at me and they're smiling, then I know that I'm loved. That is the time when I have no worries, no problems.

Etta James

Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.

Paul J. Meyer

I like Mr. Gorbachev, we can do business together.

Margaret Thatcher

Property is unstable, and youth perishes in a moment. Life itself is held in the grinning fangs of Death, Yet men delay to obtain release from the world. Alas, the conduct of mankind is surprising.

Plautus

I don't know that she is as amusing as she was when she was a child, but she makes me love her and I like people who make me love them. It saves me so much trouble in making myself love them.

L.M. Montgomery

Patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness.

Thomas Henry Huxley
