I had a vision - and I saw white spirits and black spirits engaged in battle, and the sun was darkened - the thunder rolled in the Heavens, and blood flowed in streams - and I heard a voice saying, 'Such is your luck, such are you called to see, and let it come rough or smooth, you must surely bear it.'

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

Some guys travel with expensive Louis Vuitton luggage but it gets all scratched up under the plane. I'd rather not spend too much money on something that's just going to get messed up.

James Harden

Death is nature's way of saying, Your table's ready.

Robin Williams

We need to understand that we are not each others' enemies in this country. And it is only the political class that derives its power by creating friction. It is only the media that derives its importance by creating friction... that uses every little thing to create this chasm between people. This is not who we are.

Benjamin Carson

Denise Van Outen

When it comes to finances, remember that there are no withholding taxes on the wages of sin.

Mae West

Parrots make great pets. They have more personality than goldfish.

Chevy Chase

Start off everyday with a simple smile and get it over with.

W. C. Fields

If you're more interested in what you have achieved, or what you're financial position enables you to do than that thing that got those things, you're screwed.

Jerry Seinfeld

A year ago I had a back injury and followed a good nutrition program to help speed up my recovery. I focused on exercise and staying healthy in order to get back out on the ice.

Sasha Cohen

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

Henry David Thoreau

Automobiles are free of egotism, passion, prejudice and stupid ideas about where to have dinner. They are, literally, selfless. A world designed for automobiles instead of people would have wider streets, larger dining rooms, fewer stairs to climb and no smelly, dangerous subway stations.
