What our sword has won in half a year, our sword must guard for half a century.

The thing I love about being an actor is the ability to travel and experience new cultures.

Paul Wesley

No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

Mitch Albom

The well of true wit is truth itself

George Meredith

Imagination which comes into play in falling in love is different from any other. Certainly in my case, and I've fallen in love all my life, one imagines the person to be as you want them to be. They frequently turn out to be someone different, for better or worse.

Mary Wesley

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Nelson Mandela

A man who is not born with the novel-writing gift has a troublesome time of it when he tries to build a novel. I know this from experience. He has no clear idea of his story; in fact he has no story. He merely has some people in his mind, and an incident or two, also a locality, and he trusts he can plunge those people into those incidents with interesting results. So he goes to work. To write a novel? No--that is a thought which comes later; in the beginning he is only proposing to tell a little tale, a very little tale, a six-page tale. But as it is a tale which he is not acquainted with, and can only find out what it is by listening as it goes along telling itself, it is more than apt to go on and on and on till it spreads itself into a book. I know about this, because it has happened to me so many times.

Mark Twain

The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbors.

William Hazlitt

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

Albert Camus

People don't understand computers. Computers are magical boxes that do things. People believe what computers tell them.

Bruce Schneier

I'm not a big believer in a thing called luck. I believe it has a lot to do with fate and just really having a vision of the way you would see your life.

Marla Maples

In the midst of excitement, grief, joy, and solitude, I remind myself every moment that the sole mission of my life is to find the ultimate questioner - that unimaginable who has put me in this madness to answer an unanswerable question.

Kedar Joshi

We gain our ends only with the laws of nature; we control her only by understanding her laws.

Jacob Bronowski
