The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do.

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed!

William Shakespeare

Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong.

George Carlin

If you can't pray a door open, don't pry it open.

Lyell Rader

I actually like how doctors talk. I like the sound of science. I like how words you don't understand explain things you can't understand.

R.J. Palacio

Life is a campaign not a battle, and has its defeats as well as its victories.

Don Piatt

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.

Grace Slick

Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for mankind.

Mikhail Gorbachev

The automobile engine will come, and then I will consider my life's work complete.

Rudolf Diesel

We have been exceedingly busy ever since you went away. In the first place we have had to rejoice two or three times everyday at your having such very delightful weather for the whole of your journey...

Jane Austen

Space-ships and time machines are no escape from the human condition. Let Othello subject Desdemona to a lie-detector test; his jealousy will still blind him to the evidence. Let Oedipus triumph over gravity; he won't triumph over his fate.

Arthur Koestler

For me, marriage should be about partnership. How can you love someone you have to take care of like a child all the time? A wife is supposed to be a partner, and yes partners help each other when they need it, but they are supposed to be together because they want to in my book, not because one needs the other.

Lynsay Sands

It is not whether your words or actions are tough or gentle; it is the spirit behind your actions and words that announces your inner state.
