I think the Spirit, is the one thing we have to rely on. It has been handed to us as a live and precious coal. And each generation has to make that decision whether they want to blow on that coal to keep it alive or throw it away... Our language, our histories and culture are like a big ceremonial fire that's been kicked and stomped and scattered...Out in the darkness we can see those coals glowing. But our generation, whether in tribal government or wherever we find ourselves--Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole--are coal gatherers. We bring the coals back, assemble them and breathe on them again, so we can spark a flame around which we might warm ourselves.

I swims in the Tagus all across at once, and I rides on an ass or a mule, and swears Portuguese, and have got a diarrhea and bites from the mosquitoes. But what of that? Comfort must not be expected by folks that go a pleasuring.

We have grown used to money. The handling, the increase of it, is the chief business of life now with most of us.

Rebecca Harding Davis

I don't know. I think it's funny! I think it's funny! I go, what? It's so absurd. I'm alone.

Danny DeVito

Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you do not know when it is through if you are a crook or a martyr.

Will Rogers

Dangers bring fears, and fears more dangers bring.

Richard Baxter

Success is not something I've wrapped my brain around. If people go to those movies, then yes, that's true, big-time success. If not, it's much ado about nothing.

Matt Damon

It may be you fear more to deliver judgment upon me than I fear judgment.

Giordano Bruno

For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.
