Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.

I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.

Doug Larson

Kids need to be equipped for that. They need to learn to use that technology to keep the new economy going.

Dennis Moore

I am an absurd idealist. But I believe that all that must come true. For, unless it comes true, the world will be laid desolate. And I believe that it can come true. I believe that, by the grace of God, men will awake presently and be men again, and colour and laughter and splendid living will return to a grey civilisation. But that will only come true because a few men will believe in it, and fight for it, and fight in its name against everything that sneers and snarls at that ideal.

Leslie Charteris

Chance generally favors the prudent.

Joseph Joubert

To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.

Ernest Renan

As the whirlwind in its fury teareth up trees, and deformeth the face of nature, or as an earthquake in its convulsions overturneth whole cities; so the rage of an angry man throweth mischief around him.

Akhenaton

if you tell a joke in the forest, but nobody laughs, was it ajoke?

Steven Wright

I've had to be a man since I was 12 or 13. I had a job. And I was playing the piano for people twice my age. Handling responsibility is what makes a man a man.

Albert Einstein

Another key element of human ecology is the inviolability of human life, especially at its beginning and its end. The Holy See insistently proclaims that the first and most fundamental of all human rights is the right to life, and that when this right is denied all other rights are threatened. The assumption that abortion and euthanasia are human rights deserving legislative sanction is seen by the Holy See as a contradiction which amounts to a denial of the human dignity and freedom which the law is supposed to protect. A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/2000/index.htm
