'Tis very certain that each man carries in his eye the exact indication of his rank in the immense scale of men, and we are always learning to read it. A complete man should need no auxiliaries to his personal presence.

Say the report is exaggerated.

Mark Twain

It is when things are at worst you will get the best.

Santosh Kalwar

It's best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth.

Charles Kuralt

What you encounter, recognize or discover depends to a large degree on the quality of your approach. Many of the ancient cultures practiced careful rituals of approach. An encounter of depth and spirit was preceded by careful preparation.When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.

John O'Donohue

We, as conservative intellectuals, should not be in the business of making excuses for bad parliamentary decisions by Republican leaders in Congress.

David Frum

We're going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us, and when certain conditions happen, are triggered, the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.

Steve Jobs

What orators lack in depth, they make up to you in length.

Charles Montesquieu

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

Martina Hingis

There's a food revolution going on throughout the country. And it doesn't matter if you're down south, up north in Maine, if you're out west in Portland or Seattle.

Tom Colicchio

I feel my family's needs are a priority. I'm not comfortable with the idea of serving the many and ignoring my family.

Susan Sarandon

The term up has no meaning apart from the word down. The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.

Thurman W. Arnold

Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness or oppose with firmness.

Charles Caleb Colton
