Of all our possessions, wisdom alone is imortal.

Isocrates

Trust instinct to the end, even though you can give no reason.

Ellie Goulding

I am going to show you great and mighty things which no one has ever seen before.... I am going to take you places where no one has ever been. I am going to take you to heights where no one has ever reached. If you will only come to me with all your heart, I will do a mighty work in you, which no man can undo but yourself.

M.J. Chrisman

Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Andy Grove

It is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way, whether in material, design, or execution.

George Edmund Street

I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.

Sometimes life is very mean: a person can spend days, weeks, months and years without feeling new. Then, when a door opens - a positive avalanche pours in. One moment, you have nothing, the next, you have more than you can cope with.

Paulo Coelho

Born again?! No, I'm not. Excuse me for getting it right the first time.
