That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.

Love seeks a guerdon; friendship is as God, Who gives and asks no payment.

Richard Hovey

The golden child may be the oldest one, unless it's the youngest. It may be the toughest one, unless it's the most sensitive. It's not even necessary that Mom and Dad have the same favorite - and typically they don't.

Jeffrey Kluger

As Daddy said, life is 95 percent anticipation.

Gloria Swanson

People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works.

Meister Eckhart

I'm not saying I wasn't flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business.

Patti Smith

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

Samuel Johnson

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and don't lean on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him, and he shall direct your way. Proverbs 3:5, 6

Bible

The finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet.

Isadora Duncan

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Euripides

Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.

Benjamin Franklin

Willie Mays

High Romanticism shows you nature in all its harsh and lovely metamorphoses. Flood, fire and quake fling us back to the primal struggle for survival and reveal our gross dependency on mammoth, still mysterious forces.

Camille Paglia
