To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within the soul

Every man's got to figure to get beat sometime.

Joe Louis

A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.

James Allen

Justifying faith implies, not only a divine evidence or conviction that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, but a sure trust and confidence that Christ died for my sins, that He loved me and gave Himself for me.

John Wesley

If you're the village blacksmith and a model T comes along, you better become a mechanic. People's lives are better when they get news online versus having to wait for the morning paper. It's a lot more efficient, a lot more real time, a lot less waste.

Marc Andreessen

What is work and what is not work are questions that perplex the wisest of men.

Bhagavad Gita

When I was a small boy growing up in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of a summer afternoon on a riverbank we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I wanted to be a real major-league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he'd like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish.

Dwight D Eisenhower

Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!

Honore de Balzac

People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Elizabeth Kubler Ross

At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.

Jacqueline Bisset

If you don't synthesize knowledge, scientific journals become spare-parts catalogues for machines that are never built.

Arthur R. Marshall

The past has no power over the present moment.

Eckhart Tolle

If you live each day as it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right

Steve Jobs
