Life doesn't just happen to you; youreceive everything in your life based on what you've given.

Rhonda Byrne

The acting is something that will always be a part of my life, but the writing gives me a lot more creative freedom. You're a pawn in somebody else's chess game, whereas as a writer and as a director, you get to call the shots. And that's very thrilling.

Amber Benson

A new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.

George H. W. Bush

Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought

William Shakespeare

Not to the curious or impatient soul That in the start, demands the end be shown, And at each step, stops waiting for a sign; But to the tireless toiler toward the goal, Shall the great miracles of God be known And life revealed, immortal and divine.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

That doctrine of peace at any price has done more mischief than any I can well recall that have been afloat in this country. It has occasioned more wars than any of the most ruthless conquerors. It has disturbed and nearly destroyed that political equilibrium so necessary to the liberties and the welfare of the world.

Benjamin Disraeli

The Oval Office symbolizes... the Constitution, the hopes and dreams, and I'm going to say democracy.

Andrew Card

At bottom is the best soil to sow and grow something new again. In that sense, hitting bottom, while extremely painful, is also the sowing ground.

Anon.

Whether a person shows themselves to be a genius in science or in writing a song, the only point is, whether the thought, the discovery, or the deed, is living and can live on.

Johann von Goethe

Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you'll be criticized anyway.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I had to succeed. Failure means I would have to be homeless again.

Elie Tahari

I can't complain about my life. I have a really nice life. I have a great family and I live in a gorgeous part of the country.
