Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.

All the resources we need are in the mind

Theodore Roosevelt

Life is really simple, but men insist on making it complicated.

Confucius

We are all artists in everything we do. Art is creating; it is our link that makes us like god. All you have to do is look at any form of nature to know that god was the greatest artist of all. He gives us beauty in his creations to inspire us to find the artists inside of us. Art isnt just about painting or sculpture. It is in everything from how you organize your life to how communicate with the world.

Bethany Jane Andrews Hoey

It is generally much more shameful to lose a good reputation than never to have acquired it.

Pliny the Elder

He who praises everybody, praises nobody.

Samuel Johnson

GOD, give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office can not buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty, and in private thinking; For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.

Josiah Gilbert Holland

Treading the soil of the moon, palpating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one's stomach the separation from terra... these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known... this is the only thing I can say about the matter. The utilitarian results do not interest me.

Vladimir Nabokov

I don't think any relationship responds well to pressure.

Adam Levine

An exact science is one that admits loss.

Genesis P-Orridge

Nothing lasts. Everything changes. But the changes are the same. Winter will always turn to spring.

Susan Trott

I'm famous for being nicer to my fans than anyone on the face of the earth because I figure, a) They pay my salary, and b) It's probably like a big moment in your life to meet somebody so I would say, 'Just come on up.'

James Wood

No good work is ever done while the heart is hot and anxious and fretted.
