Worry not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and a distrust of God's providence.

The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.

Daniel Webster

It was tough at the time but when I was younger, my Dad. I would say my Dad, because without him I wouldn't have been here. I mean it was tough for me because he was really demanding. With him, it was never enough, you know, anything I did was never enough.

Thierry Henry

I've met the most interesting people while flying or on a boat. These methods of travel seem to attract the kind of people I want to be with.

Hedy Lamarr

Crying is the refuge of plain women but the ruin of pretty ones.

Oscar Wilde

Blessed are they who have nothing to say and who cannot be persuaded to say it.

James Russell Lowell

I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else.

Nikos Kazantzakis

The Founders recognized that Government is quite literally a necessary evil, that there must be opposition, between its various branches, and between political parties, for these are the only ways to temper the individual's greed for power and the electorates' desires for peace by submission to coercion or blandishment.

David Mamet

I have to keep up with the scientific literature as part of my job, but increasingly I found myself reading things that weren't really relevant to my academic work, but were relevant to gardening.

Ken Thompson

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The joy in life is to be used for a purpose. I want to be used up when I die.

George Bernard Shaw

When I was growing up, my mother was always a friend to my siblings and me (in addition to being all the other things a mom is), and I was always grateful for that because I knew she was someone I could talk to and joke with, and argue with and that nothing would ever harm that friendship.

Marlo Thomas

I love Nautilus and stretching. The results are immediate, and that gives me the motivation to continue.
