The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.

True beauty lies in purity of the heart.

Mahatma Gandhi

A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader.

Daisaku Ikeda

I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes, however, we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces. But this is pure demagoguery, and it is intellectually dishonest.

Ron Paul

I would have loved to do 'Alice in Wonderland.' Being a 'Bond' girl would always be fun. We had a lot of action in 'Eclipse' and I'd definitely like to continue down the action road. I want to do a romantic period piece, but those are really hard to get made because they're very expensive and there's not a huge demographic.

Ashley Greene

Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness it is generally the by product of other activities.

Aldous Huxley

The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.

Sun Tzu

When you explore your fears then you set yourself free.

Stephen Richards

I think people's perception of a rich girl is literal, but metaphorically I embrace it as being rich in love, spirit, joy and religion. So it's not about money.

Angie Stone

What a dog I got. Last night he went on the paper 4 times 3 while I was reading it

Rodney Dangerfield

Latter-day scepticism is fond of calling itself progressive; but scepticism is really reactionary. Scepticism goes back; it attempts to unsettle what has already been settled. Instead of trying to break up new fields with its plough, it simply tries to break up the plough.

G.K. Chesterton

I've always wanted to improve on the idea of living well, In moderation, wine is good for you - mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Robert Mondavi

Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
