What's the use trying to read Shakespeare, especially in one of those little paper editions whose pages get ruffled, or stuck together with sea-water?

If there is any secret to my success, I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel, and therefore I think my readers care about them.

Sidney Sheldon

I will not be concerned at other men's not knowing meI will be concerned at my own want of ability.

Confucius

There are things I can't force. I must adjust. There are times when the greatest change needed is a change of my viewpoint.

C. M. Ward

If you can't stand a little sacrifice and you can't stand a trip across the desert with limited water, we're never going to straighten this country out.

H. Ross Perot

A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed -- I well know. For it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.

Georges Clemenceau

In everything, satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker.

David Hume

Soren Kierkegaard

Let the revolution begin.

Ron Paul

Look to make your course regular, that men may know beforehand what they may expect.

Francis Bacon

The secret of happiness is the determination to be happy always, rather than wait for outer circumstances to make one happy.

J. Donald Walters

Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love. Be his enmity political or religious, he has nothing to expect from a follower of Jesus but unqualified love. In such love there is not inner discord between the private person and official capacity. In both we are disciples of Christ, or we are not Christians at all.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
