Wise men are instructed in reason;Men of less understanding by experience;The most unknowing learn by necessity. Wise men do in the beginning what fools do in the end.

Simplify your life. You don't grow spiritual, you shrink spiritual.

Steve Maraboli

I come from a very non-accepting family, but I'm very accepting.

Katy Perry

What else is there to make life tolerable? We stand on the shore of an ocean, crying to the night and to emptiness. Sometimes a voice of one drowning, and in a moment the silence returns. The world seems to me quite dreadful, the unhappiness of many people is very great, and I often wonder how they all endure it. It is usually the central thing around which their lives are built, and I suppose if they did not live most of their lives in the things of the moment, they would not be able to go on.

Bertrand Russell

It isn't what you do, but how you do it.

John Wooden

I want to extend my gratitude and thankfulness to all those who care and love my family and myself, and our situation, especially the American people who show their care about the quality of justice as a universal value and I'm very grateful to all of you.

Chen Guangcheng

You have to find a balance with food in your life - you can't take out food. It can be absolutely terrifying.

Carre Otis

I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves.

Oscar Wilde

I'm as happy a man as any in the world, for the whole world seems to smile upon me!

Samuel Smiles

Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.

Rainer Maria Rilke

As for me, except for an occasional heart attack, I feel as young as I ever did.

Robert Benchley

If it falls to me to start a fight to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country with the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play, so be it.

Jonathan Aitken

When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture.

Victoria Abril
