Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

For truth itself does not have the privilege to be employed at any time and in every way; its use, noble as it is, has its circumscriptions and limits.

Michel de Montaigne

I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me, and at length the longing has been satisfied.

Julia Margaret Cameron

The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.

George Washington

The President must be greater than anyone else, but not better than anyone else. We subject him and his family to close and constant scrutiny and denounce them for things that we ourselves do every day. A Presidential slip of the tongue, a slight error in judgmentsocial, political, or ethicalcan raise a storm of protest. We give the President more work than a man can do, more responsibility than a man should take, more pressure than a man can bear. We abuse him often and rarely praise him. We wear him out, use him up, eat him up. And with all this, Americans have a love for the President that goes beyond loyalty or party nationality; he is ours, and we exercise the right to destroy him.

John Steinbeck

I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money.

Bob Hope

I have been mocked by beauty, too. But it was the beauty which cost me nothing that in the end turned upon me.

Katherine Paterson

True wit is nature to advantage dressed, what oft was thought, but never so well expressed.

Alexander Pope

Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?

Erich Fromm

One time I went to a hotel. I asked the bellhop to handle my bag. He felt up my wife!

Rodney Dangerfield

We are talking about someone who has lived. It must be honored in every respect. The fictional can take any kind of channel - according to the actor's marriage to the character.

Kate Mulgrew

I grew up in New York, I love New York.

Caroline Kennedy

The great thing is the start -- to see an opportunity for service, and to start doing it, even though in the beginning you serve but a single customer -- and him for nothing.
