By starving emotions we become humorless, rigid and stereotyped; by repressing them we become literal, reformatory and holier-than-thou; encouraged, they perfume life; discouraged, they poison it.

Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much; such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar

William Shakespeare

And then there's the truth beyond that, sitting like an old rock under green creek water: none of these things matter. Right now, in this moment, we have love. We have it in the sound of my daughter's laugher, in Mom's and Georgia's locked fingers, in the warm pressure of J.T.'s hand. It will leave, and it will come again, and when it does I'll give up everything and take it. Just like an addict. Like dry grass in new rain. It's not something I'm proud of necessarily. Then again, maybe I am.

Allan Beck

We come to reason, not to dominate. We do not seek to have our way, but to find a common way.

Lyndon B. Johnson

We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.

Carly Fiorina

We have one life it soon will be past what we do for God is all that will last.

Muhammad Ali

The simplest of women are wonderful liars who can extricate themselves from the most difficult dilemmas with a skill bordering on genius.

Guy de Maupassant

There is a growing literature about the multitude of journalism's problems, but most of it is concerned with the editorial side of the business, possibly because most people competent to write about journalism are not comfortable writing about finance.

Russell Baker

He hits the ball a long way and he knows how to win.

Gary McCord

All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.
