Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.

Dale Carnegie

I'm like a 6 on a scale of 1-20

Hope Denton

I've tried word processors, but I think I'm too old a dog to use one.

Dee Brown

He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.

Epictetus

It is probably true that business corrupts everything it touches. It corrupts politics, sports, literature, art, labor unions and so on. But business also corrupts and undermines monolithic totalitarianism. Capitalism is at its liberating best in a noncapitalist environment.

Eric Hoffer

It scares you: all the noise, the rattling, the shaking. But the look on everybody's face when you're finished and packing, it's the best smile in the world and there's nobody hurt, and the well's under control.

Red Adair

I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?

Richard Bach

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

Arthur Schopenhauer

People are not measured by their accomplishments, but by how many times they screw up trying to achieve them.

James McGregor

And as for the unbelievers, their works are as a mirage in a spacious plain which the man athirst supposes to be water, till when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing; there indeed he finds God, and He pays him his account in full; (and God is swift at the reckoning).

Qur'an

The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.

William Cowper

All civilization has from time to time become a thin crust over a volcano of revolution.
