It's hard to lead a cavalry charge if you think you look funny on a horse.

Adlai E. Stevenson

But if you don't watch me, I will try and sneak in some humor. I see humor everywhere in life around me.

Marion Ross

Success is the one unpardonable sin against our fellows.

Ambrose Bierce

Religion is like holding on to a rock in the middle of a raging river; faith is learning how to swim.

T. S. Eliot

I have so much fun with Matt LeBlanc that whether I love it or not really makes no difference to me because I just really have that much fun with him and playing with him. Being onstage with him is great.

For families across the UK who are income-poor, but more than that, whose lives are blighted by worklessness, educational failure, family breakdown, problem debt and poor health, as well as other problems, giving them an extra pound - say through increased benefits - will not address the reason they find themselves in difficulty in the first place.

Iain Duncan Smith

Jeffrey Archer

I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes, and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them.

Matthew Barney

To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.

Ayn Rand
