That what is true of business and politics is gloriously true of the professions, the arts and crafts, the sciences, the sports. That the best picture has not yet been painted; the greatest poem is still unsung; the mightiest novel remains to be written; the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. In science, probably ninety-nine percent of the knowable has to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. We are only beginning to imagine the force and composition of the atom. Physics has not yet found any indivisible matter, or psychology a sensible soul.

I put my life in danger and came here because I feel this country is in danger. People are worried. We will bring the country out of this crisis.

Benazir Bhutto

Maybe the first time you saw her you were ten. She was standing in the sun scratching her legs. Or tracing letters in the dirt with a stick. Her hair was being pulled. Or she was pulling someone's hair. And a part of you was drawn to her, and a part of you resisted--wanting to ride off on your bicycle, kick a stone, remain uncomplicated. In the same breath you felt the strength of a man, and a self-pity that made you feel small and hurt. Part of you thought: Please don't look at me. If you don't, I can still turn away. And part of you thought: Look at me.

Nicole Krauss

Listen closely as those around you speak; great truths are revealed in jest.

Javan

Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Bible

I am so fidgety - I swear I have ADD - and I always need to be doing something or being outside, just playing sports.

Kellan Lutz

He that would pass the latter part of life with honour and decency, must, when he is young, consider that he shall one day be old; and remember, when he is old, that he has once been young.

Samuel Johnson

You become tyrannized by this notion that women must not only be treated equally, but they must never fail.

David Duchovny

Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.

Tom Stoppard

Given political history in Chile, it seemed to me that there was a critical task of consolidating a democracy and creating healthy civic-military and political-military relationships.

Michelle Bachelet

Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.

Hosea Ballou

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Mark Twain

When someone has the desire to go to school and has the ability but can't get into our schools, that's wrong. Education drives the economy and the quality of life.

Jack Miller
