This is who I am. I'm not perfect. I don't want to try to be perfect.

Michael Strahan

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

Zinedine Zidane

I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.

Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.

Vidal Sassoon

Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is. Know your business and industry better than anyone else in the world. Love what you do or don't do it.

Mark Cuban

Tens of billions of years pass in the growing darkness ... of a universe condemned to become a galactic graveyard.

Edward Harrison

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.

John Ruskin

Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us.

Leo Tolstoy

James Dye

I feel that the most important requirement in success is learning to overcome failure. You must learn to tolerate it, but never accept it.

A vow is a snare for sin

Samuel Johnson
