The truth is that most busy people cannot sustain a seven-day-a-week training schedule. There are too many other stresses and responsibilities in their lives.

There is no treasure like the human heart.

Jocelyn Murray

The hardest people to reach with the love of God are not the bad people. They know they are bad. They have no defense. The hardest ones to win for God are the self-righteous people.

Charles L. Allen

Nothing gives an author so much pleasure as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors

Benjamin Franklin

Nothing is sacred to a gamester.

Bernard Joseph Saurin

Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, the mere materials with which wisdom builds, till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place, does but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

William Cowper

There is hardly a pioneer's hut which does not contain a few odd volumes of Shakespeare. I remember reading the feudal drama of Henry V for the first time in a log cabin.

Alexis de Tocqueville

I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats,' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful.

Ina Garten

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning...

J. B. (John Boynton) Priestley

Our object in the construction of the state is the greatest happiness of the whole, and not that of any one class.

Plato

Natural abilities can almost compensate for the want of every kind of cultivation, but no cultivation of the mind can make up for the want of natural abilities.

Arthur Schopenhauer

As soon as we abandon our own reason, and are content to rely upon authority, there is no end to our troubles. p. 108.

Bertrand Russell

It has become necessary for me to have this woman, so as to save myself from the ridicule of being in love with her: for to what lengths will a man not be driven by thwarted desire?

Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
