Sports nurtures dreams of achieving self confidence and masculine striving for the skinny kid watching a boxer dance around the ring with sublime ease.

One has to take a somewhat bold and dangerous line with this existence: especially as, whatever happens, we are bound to lose it.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is.

Dante Alighieri

I look more to the future. That's where my head is at.

Flavor Flav

I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

Benjamin Franklin

Every man is an impossibility until he is born.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I believe that how you feel is very important to how you look - that healthy equals beautiful.

Victoria Principal

Is this the truth we knew, and then forgot?Maybe the lies are all that we've gotBut aren't they beautiful?

Sarah Slean

Today I know that physical training should have as much place in the curriculum as mental training.

Mahatma Gandhi

Normally its narrow streets were crowded with stalls, and people from all over the Carpet. They'd all be trying to cheat one another in that open-and-above-board way known as 'doing business'.

Terry Pratchett

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.

William Blake

As an African American actress, there are people who have been staples in my life that opened a door that I can walk through. I hope that I can have that impact.
