Sports is all about money.

I don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift.

Mos Def

You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.

Sam Rayburn

A source of bad conscience, however, is the knowledge that my way of life, austere though it may appear to the richer folk, is still ruinously exploitive of nature -- not in my backyard, where I practice harmlessness toward even the wasps, but in the atmosphere, where my fossil fuel combustion's carbon dioxide is helping change the climate; in all those mountainous places where the metals and minerals that structure and drive my American life are torn from the earth; and in the flesh of fish and birds, mammals, and reptiles, where the chemicals that made the paper and plastic I use bioaccumulate, deforming reproduction. That guilty knowledge is another argument for material simplicity. The less I consume, the less harm I do to that which I love. In a consumer society, harmless living may be simple, but it is not easy. I make no claim to exemplary harmlessness or simplicity.

Stephanie Mills, Epicurean Simpl

Human nature is such that people are born with a love of profit If they follow these inclinations, they will struggle and snatch from each other, and inclinations to defer or yield will die.

Xun Zi

For a moment he felt a wild hope: perhaps this really was a nightmare. Perhaps he would awake in his own bed, bathed in sweat, shaking, maybe even crying . . . but alive. Safe. Then he pushed the thought away. Its charm was deadly, its comfort fatal.

Stephen King

For a long time, I wanted to become a theologian. Now, however, behold, how through my efforts God is being glorified through astronomy.

Johannes Kepler

If there is any truth to my parenting the dreamwork movement, it comes from the power of the press.

Henry Reed

The good days weren't really so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.

Billy Joel

...if the beginnings of love and amorous politics are equally rosy, then the ends may be equally bloody.

Alain de Botton, On Love

No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move. Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward.

Amar Gopal Bose

Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet

Albert Einstein

The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.

Wayne Gretzky
