Touch not the flute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent.

When you hire that first person, then you're a boss. You've got performance reviews. You've got complaints about not making enough money. You've got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids.

I'm happy because I won't have to train again, or travel or sit in team hotels.

Romario

He who cannot limit himself will never know how to write.

Mark Twain

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The cello is like a beautiful woman who has not grown older, but younger with time, more slender, more supple, more graceful.
