The world is too much with us late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours.

When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't.

Thomas A. Edison

Never explain, never retract, never apologize. Just get the thing done and let them howl.

Nellie L. McClung

A rude nature is worse than a brute nature by so much more as man is better than a beast: and those that are of civil natures and genteel dispositions are as much nearer to celestial creatures as those that are rude and cruel are to devils.

Margaret Cavendish

When you are winning too much, sometimes you think you should never lose again. I am learning to lose.

Goran Ivanisevic

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Calvin Coolidge

There never was a person who did anything worth doing, who did not receive more than he gave.

Henry Ward Beecher

No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.

Eddie Vedder

There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.

George Washington

If dreams give you power, then I'm strong enough to walk through my heart till you love me.

Reba McEntire

A very few, as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men, serve the State with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated by it as enemies.

Henry David Thoreau

He kept his eyes on mine, his gaze unblinking, and I stared right back into the blue. He moved almost imperceptibly and in the space between a heartbeat his lips touched mine.

Sarah Alderson

Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.

Germaine De Stael
