Barack Obama: Focusing your...

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.
/Barack Obama/

Sally Rand: I'm not...

I'm not the type to sit on the porch and watch life go by.
/Sally Rand/

Sarah Zettel: First and...

First and foremost, The Quiet Invasion is a first contact story. What would we do if we actually found evidence of alien life out there? It's also about politics.
/Sarah Zettel/

Sheena Easton: My mother...

My mother has never been involved in my professional life. I am very close to my mother but we keep it on a mother-daughter basis and not a work-related basis.
/Sheena Easton/

Jim Morrison: Some of...

Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.
/Jim Morrison/

Erykah Badu: What does...

What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. It's my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.
/Erykah Badu/

Damon Runyon: I came...

I came to the conclusion long ago that all life is six to five against.
/Damon Runyon/

Charles Eastman: Every act...

Every act of his life is, in a very real sense, a religious act.
/Charles Eastman/

Amy Bloom: Love at...

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.
/Amy Bloom/

H. E. E. Hayes: The general...

The general who is able to persuade his forces that there is victory, even where there seems to be defeat, is one who will inspire them to fight against apparently impossible odds. They will, indeed, never suffer defeat, but will fight on until annihilated by capture or death. The secret of success even in the more pacific engagements of life lies in this principle-to be undaunted in ardour, in spite of failure; to recognise in failure a step towards ultimate success. Let a man be possessed with these, and victory is within his grasp, whether he recognises it or not.
/H. E. E. Hayes/

Rene Descartes: If you...

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
/Rene Descartes/

Zinedine Zidane: I may...

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.
/Zinedine Zidane/

Isaac Asimov: I don't...

I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
/Isaac Asimov/

Thich Nhat Hanh: Life can...

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
/Thich Nhat Hanh/

Jesse Ventura: I also...

I also believe that government has no business telling us how we should live our lives. I think our lifestyle choices should be left up to us. What we do in our private lives is none of the government's business. That position rules out the Republican Party for me.
/Jesse Ventura/
