Providing for one's family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for doing the best for his children?

Eva Figes

When war comes, two things happen - profits go way, way up and all perishables go way, way down. There becomes a market for them.

Steven Spielberg

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

Bradley Whitford

I'm not a drug addict. My wild period wasn't about drugs it was about sexual freedom.

Calvin Klein

Blaise Pascal

We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.

Tennessee (Thomas Lanier) Willia

This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now.

Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

Good counsel rejected returns to enrich the givers bosom.

Oliver Goldsmith
