Do not worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older it will avoid you.

Acting is happy agony.

Sir Alec Guinness

Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-thou second-guessing in The New York Review of Books.

John Updike

The best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eyes and see how scared they are.

Michael Jordan

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Mark Twain

The absence of old friends one can endure with equanimity. But even a momentary separation from anyone to whom one has just been introduced is almost unbearable.

Oscar Wilde

If Germany is to become a colonizing power, all I say is, God speed her! She becomes our ally and partner in the execution of the great purposes of Providence for the advantage of mankind.

William Ewart Gladstone

What a curious picture it is to find man, homo sapiens, of divine origin, we are told, seriously considering going underground to escape the consequences of his own folly. With a little wisdom and foresight, surely it is not yet necessary to forsake life in the fresh air and in the warmth of the sunlight. What a paradox if our own cleverness in science should force us to live underground with the moles.

J. William Fulbright

Chess is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time

George Bernard Shaw

I look a hundred and weigh 110 - you won't love me when you see the wreck England has made me.

Wallis Simpson

God helps them that help themselves.

Proverb

Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.

Thomas Jefferson

Statistics show that of those who contract the habit of eating, very few survive.

George Bernard Shaw
