Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

It wasn't glamorous in my day. In the regions, reporters were seen as such low life that they didn't merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.

Kate Adie

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.

Alan Shearer

We could love and not be suckers. We could dream and not be losers. It was such a beautiful time. Everything was possible because we didn't know anything yet.

Hilary Winston

It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.

Robert Lynd

Every drop in the ocean counts.

Yoko Ono

A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one; in that of the curious, a scarce one; in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.

Oswald Chambers

In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.

Herman Melville

La gloriosa donna della mia mente

Sylvain Reynard

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

Kathryn Bigelow

But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place;' some swearing, some crying for a surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left. I am afeard there are few die well that die in a battle; for how can they charitably dispose of anything, when blood is their argument? Now, if these men do not die well, it will be a black matter for the king that led them to it; whom to disobey were against all proportion of subjection.[Henry V, Act IV Scene I]

William Shakespeare

Love can cause problem and love can heal humanly problems based on our virtue.

Santosh Kalwar
