There are three wants which never can be satisfied: that of the rich, who wants something more; that of the sick, who wants something different; and that of the traveler, who says, Anywhere but here.

I was a ballplayer, but only for a limited time. I grew up playing in Wisconsin. It's a very sports-centric part of the country that I grew up in and I played a lot of sports, but baseball first and foremost. I played through high school. I was a middle-infielder.

The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married.

Finley Peter Dunne

When you forget what you ultimately stand for, you rejoice in blinding ignorance. Missing the bigger picture for the near pleasure is what humans and all living beings stand for. I guess there is no alternate way either. Because it is after all a game that all are destined to play until they end up dead.

I'm not asking any of you to make drastic changes to every single one of your recipes or to totally change the way you do business. But what I am asking is that you consider reformulating your menu in pragmatic and incremental ways to create healthier versions of the foods that we all love.

Michelle Obama

The English public, as a mass, takes no interest in a work of art until it is told that the work in question is immoral.

Oscar Wilde

Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen.

We do not display greatness by going to one extreme, but in touching both at once, and filling all the intervening space. But perhaps this is only a sudden movement of the soul from one to the other extreme, and in fact it is ever at one point only, as in the case of a firebrand.

Blaise Pascal

Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.

William Wordsworth

Aristotle uses a mother's love for her child as the prime example of love or friendship.

Mortimer Adler

Happiness is a Swedish sunset; it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it

Mark Twain

When I got out of acting school, I was lucky to have gotten any job at all. A lot of people hiring African American actresses - it was right after 'Roots,' and for society, not me, it was great. Nice richly dark-skinned people was the fashion, and I was not.
