Wise men put their trust in ideas and not in circumstances.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I just always expect the best because I'm a competitor and if I'm competing, then obviously I'm trying to be better in everything.

Hilaire Belloc

I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.

Christian Bale

I put all my genius into my life I put only my talent into my works.

Oscar Wilde

Pearl Buck

The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.

Leo Tolstoy

Predictions of the future are never anything but projections of present automatic processes and procedures, that is, of occurrences that are likely to come to pass if men do not act and if nothing unexpected happens; every action, for better or worse, and every accident necessarily destroys the whole pattern in whose frame the prediction moves and where it finds its evidence.

Hannah Arendt

Purchase not friends by gifts; when thou ceasest to give, such will cease to love.

Thomas Fuller

Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

Mahatma Gandhi

A man cannot make him laugh; but that's no marvel; he drinks no wine

William Shakespeare

I have actually five honorary degrees.

Katherine Dunham
