Watch what you choose to do. For instance, someone might want you to smoke. Never forget that I told you -- don't do it. Say no. That can of beer that somebody wants you to try, don't do it. Don't you ever do it. That drug that someone might want you to use, don't touch it. Stay away from it. It can destroy you.

Maria Bartiromo

Why doesn't the fellow who says, I'm no speechmaker let it go at that instead of giving a demonstration?

Kin Hubbard

If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?

Jodi Picoult

Real philosophy seeks rather to solve than to deny.

Edward George BulwerLytton

I hate Iran. I hate the Iranian government. It's a cruel and evil government.

Doris Lessing

You gave him an opportunity of showing greatness of character and he did not seize it. He will never forgive you for that.

Friedrich Nietzsche
