M.G. Sriram: Looking at...

Looking at the proliferation of personal web pages on the Net, it looks like very soon everyone on Earth will have 15 megabytes of fame.

Suzanne Vega: Sometimes I...

Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that.
/Suzanne Vega/

George A. Sheehan: Sport is...

Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park. Sport is a theater where sinner can turn saint and a common man become an uncommon hero, where the past and the future can fuse with the present. Sport is singularly able to give us peak experiences where we feel completely one with the world and transcend all conflicts as we finally become our own potential.
/George A. Sheehan/

Harriet Beecher Stowe: Home is...

Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room.
/Harriet Beecher Stowe/

J. R. R. Tolkien: Many that...

Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
/J. R. R. Tolkien/

Tobey Maguire: I've been...

I've been curious about certain things, but didn't let them get in the way of my life. I don't know how people becoem successful with some kind of habit.
/Tobey Maguire/

Ali Larter: When it...

When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, I need more out of my life and I need to push myself harder. And if at the end of the day I don't have it, then I don't have it, but at least I'm going to put myself out there. If I fail, I'm going to fail terrifically.
/Ali Larter/

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: The most...

The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others.
/Pierre Teilhard de Chardin/

William L. Jenkins: Throughout his...

Throughout his life, Ronald Reagan believed America is capable of great things and its people could and would lead the way if left unburdened by taxation and regulation.
/William L. Jenkins/

Dorothy Canfield Fisher: If we...

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.
/Dorothy Canfield Fisher/

Andrew Jackson: I am...

I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.
/Andrew Jackson/

Barbara Dale: Think of...

Think of the life of the working woman as the decathlon. If you even finish it's a miracle.
/Barbara Dale/

The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
