Thought is, perhaps, the forerunner and even the mother of ideas, and ideas are the most powerful and the most useful things in the world.

I'm not really conservative. I'm conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don't any more.

Clint Eastwood

I'm by no means condemning prescription medicine for mental health. I've seen it save a lot of people's lives.

Zach Braff

Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.

Vera Farmiga

I had no doubts I could go to the pole. I may not be as strong, but I make up for physical strength in other areas, like steadiness and not panicking under stress.

Ann Bancroft

The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living that are desired when dying.

Source Unknown

Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life.

Plautus

Incongruity, they say, is one of the main ingredients of humor. Maybe it's because everybody can feel superior to me. I honestly don't know.

Emmett Kelly

If you have it Love, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

James Barrie

I've always had to do things my way; I've gotten high my way, I've gotten clean my way, I've been in and out of relationships my way. I've taken myself to the edges of life my way. And I'm still here. Whether or not I deserve to be is another story.

Slash

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

Publilius Syrus

What I point out to people is that it's silly to be afraid that you're not going to get what you want if you ask. Because you are already not getting what you want. They always laugh about that because they realize it's so true. Without asking you already have failed, you already have nothing. What are you afraid of? You're afraid of getting what you already have! It's ridiculous! Who cares if you don't get it when you ask for it, because, before you ask for it, you don't have it anyway. So there's really nothing to be afraid of.

Marcia Martin

The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.
