Unique and different is the next generation of beautiful.

The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience.

Tokugawa Ieyasu

All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called facts. They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no facts at this table.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.

William Law

All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,'--which is just another way of saying that you can't.

Richard P. Feynman

At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see.

Richard Dawkins

As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep and never to refrain when awake.

Mark Twain, 70th birthday speech

I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking: I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment

William Shakespeare

The only protection as a historian is to institute a process of research and writing that minimizes the possibility of error. And that I have tried to do, aided by modern technology, which enables me, having long since moved beyond longhand, to use a computer for both organizing and taking notes.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.

Fran Lebowitz

Rounding to the nearest cent is sufficiently accurate for practical purposes.

Alexander John Ellis

If it's a romantic holiday, the only thing I need is my wife. We love quiet and calm places where we can't be disturbed. Neither of us likes being in busy places we would much rather stay in our hotel room and enjoy each other's company.

Jean Reno

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Albert Einstein
