It sounds cliche, but success is your friends, your family, what you do, and if you're happy when you wake up.

A dream without a fight is a nightmare.

Besa Kosova

Do not shed tears when I have gone but smile instead because I have lived.

David Harkins, Remember Me, 1982

Strange combination, isn't it--gratitude and resentment? But this is the way I think. Actually, I think everybody thinks that way. Even the children of the humans who died long ago, I think they lived their lives holding similar contradictory thoughts about their parents. They were raised to learn about love and death, and they lived out their lives passing from the sunny spots to the shady spots of this world.

I get pretty much all the exercise I need walking down airport concourses carrying bags.

Guy Clark

I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.

Thomas Jane

The whole duty of government is to prevent crime and to preserve contracts.

Lord Melbourne

Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.

Babe Ruth

Most of the provisions designed to fix what ails our health system don't kick in until 2014, which, one wishes administration officials had noticed, is two years after he has to win an election.

Eric Alterman

Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future. You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity, and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success. Never again. There is a better way.

Og Mandino

Good education is not what fills your head with facts but what stimulates curiosity. You then learn for the rest of your life.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

The light came through the window, Straight from the sun above, And so inside my little room There plunged the rays of Love. In streams of light I clearly saw The dust you seldom see, Out of which the Nameless makes A Name for one like me.

Leonard Cohen

In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love. One of the greatest trials of marriage is the absence of solitude. In the first moments of human love, one does not see the little hidden deformities which later on appear.
