If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.

I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say it was god's will when granny dies, but they get angry when they lose a cow.

Terry Pratchett

True love is not the helpless desire to possess the cherished object of one's fervent affection; true love is the disciplined generosity we require of ourselves for the sake of another when we would rather be selfish; that, at least, is how I have taught myself to love my wife.

Stephen L. Carter

Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters.

B. F. Skinner

Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaints.

William Osler

Running gave me a focus to start looking after myself, to eat properly, and focus on building up my strength.

Amanda Burton

The most dangerous word in any human tongue is the word for brother. It's inflammatory.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

Happiness is working with Jack Lemmon.

Billy Wilder

Not since the digital revolution in the early '90s has technology placed such a comprehensive burden on business, employees and individuals to reinvent their business plans, services and products, and themselves to keep pace with the changing marketplace.

Simon Mainwaring

Once I accomplish one thing and I'm satisfied, I try something else. I may be 50 and doing something totally outside of music and acting. Maybe I'll become a kindergarten teacher.

Kid Cudi

A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.

Henry David Thoreau

The highest of distinctions is service to others.

King George VI

If you scratch a great photograph, you find two things; a painting and a photograph.
