I have my work and my faith... If that's boring to some people, I can't tell you how much I don't care.

In a world awash in debt, power shifts to creditors.

Fareed Zakaria

The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.

Martina Navratilova, Guardian (L

My first few weeks in America are always miserable, because the tastes I am cursed with are all of a kind that cannot be gratified here, and I am not enough in sympathy with our gross public to make up for the lack on the aesthetic side. One's friends are delightful; but we are none of us Americans, we don't think or feel as the Americans do, we are the wretched exotics produced in a European glass-house, the most displaced and useless class on earth!

Edith Wharton

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

Mark Twain

It is a pleasant thing to reflect upon, and furnishes a complete answer to those who contend for the gradual degeneration of the human species, that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.

Charles Dickens

Fishes live in the sea, as men do aland; the great ones eat up the little ones.

William Shakespeare

If the thing you want beyond anything cannot be, it is much better to recognize it and go forward, instead of dwelling on one's regrets and hopes.

Agatha Christie

The Constitution is the sole source and guaranty of national freedom.

Calvin Coolidge

No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.

Bob Dylan

There's always an imbalance with actors and actresses in the industry. And I think because there are just fewer movies overall being made, it's that trickle down effect.

Michelle Pfeiffer

The man who questions opinions is wise. The man who quarrels with facts is a fool.

Frank Garbutt

Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave--with both ends kicked out.

Vance Havner
