Win, lose or draw, you're all my cousins and I love you.

We are all instruments endowed with feeling and memory. Our senses are so many strings that are struck by surrounding objects and that also frequently strike themselves.

Denis Diderot

No one has a corner on success. It is his who pays the price.

Orison Swett Marden

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,Who never to himself hath said,This is my own, my native land!Whose heart hath neer within him burnd,As home his footsteps he hath turnd,From wandering on a foreign strand!

Sir Walter Scott

I'm simply interested in what is going to happen next. I don't think I can control my life or my writing. Every other writer I know feels he is steering himself, and I don't have that feeling. I don't have that sort of control. I'm simply becoming. I'm startled that I became a writer.

Kurt Vonnegut

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts or measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and, with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away.

Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.-

George Carlin

I know where I'm putting my money.

Marc Andreessen

The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government.

Thomas Jefferson

Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.

Thomas Carlyle

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

Donald Trump

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

Abraham Lincoln

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those that mind, don't matter.

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel)
