Medgar Evers: Feedom has...

Feedom has never been free ... I love my children and I love my wife with all my heart. And I would die, die gladly, if that would make a better life for them.
/Medgar Evers/

George Bernard Shaw: A life...

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.
/George Bernard Shaw/

René Francois Regnier: Gaily I...

Gaily I lived as ease and nature taught,<BR>And spent my little life without a thought,<BR>And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,<BR>Should think of me, who never thought of him.

Jhonen Vasquez: I don't...

I don't particularly dislike any kind of person that might be reading my stuff. They like it and that's cool, but I don't do the work for any kind of group in particular, except for hobos, who just plain kick ass and light up my life.
/Jhonen Vasquez/

William Hale White: When I...

When I look back now over my life and call to mind what I might have had simply for taking and did not take, my heart is like to break.
/William Hale White/

Brooks Adams: One friend...

One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.
/Brooks Adams/

George Washington: My Mother...

My Mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my Mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
/George Washington/

Two things I take very seriously in life. My golf game and my relationship with God. Neither one is simple.
/Cheryl Ladd/

Thomas Browne: Men that...

Men that look no further than their outsides, think health an appurtenance unto life, and quarrel with their constitutions for being sick; but I that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that fabric hangs, do wonder that we are not always so; and considering the thousand doors that lead to death, do thank my God that we can die but once.
/Thomas Browne/

Thomas Henry Huxley: It does...

It does not matter how many tumbles you have in this life, so long as you do not get dirty when you tumble; it is only the people who have to stop to be washed and made clean, who must necessarily lose the race. And I can assure you that there is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures early in life. You learn that which is of inestimable importance–that there are a great many people in the world who are just as clever as you are. You learn to put your trust, by and by, in an economy and frugality of the exercise of your powers, both moral and intellectual; and you very soon find out, if you have not found it out before, that patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice their weight of cleverness. In fact, if I were to go on discoursing on this subject, I should become almost eloquent in praise of non-success;...

Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored.
/Wayne Dyer/

Siobhan Fahey: Life is...

Life is a process of working out what's not working for you and disentangling yourself from it and trying then not walk into the same thing again. Watching your patterns and correcting them if you can.
/Siobhan Fahey/

Lascelles Abercrombie: Epic poetry...

Epic poetry exhibits life in some great symbolic attitude. It cannot strictly be said to symbolize life itself, but always some manner of life.
/Lascelles Abercrombie/

Jean Baptiste Legouve: If he...

If he could only see how small a vacancy his death would leave, the proud man would think less of the place he occupies in his lifetime.
/Jean Baptiste Legouve/

Eli Stanley Jones: Fear is...

Fear is the sand in the machinery of life.
/Eli Stanley Jones/

Anna Julia Cooper: The old,...

The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.
/Anna Julia Cooper/

Margaret Mahy: There are...

There are certainly times when my own everyday life seems to retreat so the life of the story can take me over. That is why a writer often needs space and time, so that he or she can abandon ordinary life and live with the characters.
/Margaret Mahy/

Steve Nash: I have...

I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.
/Steve Nash/

If you give a person a fish, they'll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they'll fish for a lifetime.
/Dan Quayle/

George Eads: I think...

I think what's always been interesting to me than the science and the criminality with this job is what happens to your persona, your disposition, after day in and day out dealing with life and death.
/George Eads/

Bianca Jagger: During the...

During the first 10 years of my life, while my parents were married, I enjoyed a privileged upbringing. After their divorce, my life was difficult.
/Bianca Jagger/

Robert Brault: Life is...

Life is not about discovering our talents; it is about pushing our talents to the limit and discovering our genius.
/Robert Brault/

Patrick Kavanaugh: It is...

It is impossible to read the daily press without being diverted from reality. You are full of enthusiasm for the eternal verities-life is worth living, and then out of sinful curiosity you open a newspaper. You are disillusioned and wrecked.
/Patrick Kavanaugh/

William Shakespeare: To die,...

To die, to sleep --<br>To sleep, perchance to dream, ay there's the rub,<br>For in that sleep of death what dreams may come<br>When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,<br>Must give us pause; there's the respect<br>That makes calamity of so long life.
/William Shakespeare/
