Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaints.

There’s a crack (or cracks) in everyone…that’s how the light of God gets in.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Lucy took care of me on the set, and made sure that none of the crew cussed around me. She also had birthday parties for me and made sure that they were well attended.

Keith Thibodeaux

The complaint about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernize, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.

E.B. (Elwyn Brooks) White

There are two ways not to suffer from poverty. The first is to acquire more wealth. The second is to limit your requirements. The first is not always within our power, but the second is always in our power.

Leo Tolstoy

I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.

Rachel Griffiths

We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.

E. O. Wilson

Until you have suffered much in your heart, you cannot learn humility.

Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

Your average witch is not, by nature, a social animal as far as other witches are concerned. There's a conflict of dominant personalities. There's a group of ringleaders without a ring. There's the basic unwritten rule of witchcraft, which is 'Don't do what you will, do what I say.' The natural size of a coven is one. Witches only get together when they can't avoid it.

Terry Pratchett

He who sleeps half a day has won half a life.

Karl Kraus

Those religions that are oppressive to women are also against democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression.

Taslima Nasrin

We know that when people are safe in their homes, they are free to pursue their dream for a brighter economic future for themselves and their families.

George Pataki

When life gives you lemons, do NOT make lemonade. Lemonade is for losers. Make orange juice instead.
