We all start out with the same alphabet. We are all unique. Talent is not the most important thing --- discipline and dedication are. Craft can be learned but desire and longing are innate. Despite the demands of school and just being young, try to write SOMETHING every day --- a description, a captured emotion, a simile, a metaphor. Read, for crying out loud! A writer must read the way a ball player must go to the ballfield every day to practice. Everything is possible in this world of ours--- and so's publication.

Life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and even hated, but for our qualities.

Bernard Berenson

It's always fun to visit multiple locations on one trip, but I think it also really depends on the ages of those on holiday. As a child, I loved spending time in one vacation spot, getting attached to the location, becoming comfortable, and feeling as though I were at home. This is something I would like for my children to experience.

Margherita Missoni

Only one English word adequately describes his transformation of the islands from worthless to priceless: magical.

Kurt Vonnegut

Hans J. Morgenthau

When I was a little kid, I was really scared of the dark. But then I came to understand, dark just means the absence of photons in the visible wavelength—400 to 700 nanometers. Then I thought, well it’s really silly to be afraid of a lack of photons. Then I wasn’t afraid of the dark anymore after that.

Elon Musk

If you are the kind of person who is waiting for the 'right' thing to happen, you might wait for a long time. It's like waiting for all the traffic lights to be green for five miles before starting the trip.

Robert Kiyosaki

It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?

Henry David Thoreau

The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority.

Lord (John Emerich Edward Dalber

This world is full of beauty, as other worlds above, and if we did our duty, it might be as full of love.

Gerald Massey

We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings.

Abraham Maslow

I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia.
