The trust I have is in mine innocence, and therefore am I bold and resolute.

O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.

Saint Augustine

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Woody Allen

Nothing ventured, nothing gained -- but if everything is ventured, and still nothing gained, give up and venture elsewhere.

Peter Wastholm

There is no peace, I'm sorry to say. We find it. We lose it. We find it again. We lose it again.

Kurt Vonnegut

The government is tottering. We must deal it the death blow an any cost. To delay action is the same as death.

Vladimir Lenin

Severities should be dealt out all at once, so that their suddenness may give less offense; benefits ought to be handed ought drop by drop, so that they may be relished the more.

Niccolo Machiavelli

The little boats cannot make much difference to the welfare of Gaza either way, since the materials being shipped are in such negligible quantity. The chief significance of the enterprise is therefore symbolic. And the symbolism, when examined even cursorily, doesn't seem too adorable. The intended beneficiary of the stunt is a ruling group with close ties to two of the most retrograde dictatorships in the Middle East, each of which has recently been up to its elbows in the blood of its own civilians. The same group also manages to maintain warm relations with, or at the very least to make cordial remarks about, both Hezbollah and al-Qaida. Meanwhile, a document that was once accurately described as a 'warrant for genocide' forms part of the declared political platform of the aforesaid group. There is something about this that fails to pass a smell test.

Christopher Hitchens

People will judge you, just don't let it bother you.

Habeeb Akande

We are really living the American dream, to be a successful brand in the States and in Europe and to steep ourselves in our heritage. But we do it with a sense of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously in fashion.

Tommy Hilfiger

Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films, it's because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you.

Abbas Kiarostami

Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking.

R. Buckminster Fuller

It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.

Virginia Woolf
