Trust and believe, and you will achieve.

The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows.

George William Curtis

When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.

Blaise Pascal

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

Eugenio Montale

It is a toss up whether it is worse to be old and bent or young and broke.

Karen Salmansohn

Error is acceptable as long as we are young but one must not drag it along into old age.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

If you employed study, thinking, and planning time daily, you could develop and use the power that can change the course of your destiny.

W. Clement Stone

A war is like when it rains in New York and everybody crowds into doorways, ya know? And they all get chummy together. Perfect strangers. The only difference, of course, is in a war it's also raining on the other side of the street and the people who are chummy over there are trying to kill the people who are over here who are chums.

Larry Gelbart, Hawkeye Pierce, M

Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad.
