Famous quote by Edgar Fawcett

At some glad moment was it nature's choice to dower a scrap of sunset with a voice?

My favorite quote by Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.

Quote by Wayne Coyne

I think it's probably a good thing to be considered stable, but with a capacity for madness.

James Talent quotes

The old welfare system was hurting people by discouraging work and marriage. Welfare reform, and now this legislation, will build on the understanding that work and strong families are the foundation upon which we build our future.

We should not allow wealthy people, including corporate criminals, to hide their assets and avoid paying their bills.

I've always believed the two best anti-poverty programs are work and marriage.

Each of us should take personal responsibility for our diet, and our children's diet, and the government's role should be to make certain it provides the best information possible to help people stay healthy.

If we hold true to our ideals and our commitment to freedom, this generation of servicemen and women will have extended liberty to the Iraqi people, just as previous generations of Americans have all across the globe.

Quotes by Amber Valletta

We are what we see. We are products of our surroundings.

It is in the mind and the heart where we meet. It's not the body-the body will change.

If you can be funny, it means you're intelligent. Your brain is working fast.

Top 5 quotes by Henrik Ibsen

I am sticking as closely to my subject as I can; for my subject is precisely this, that it is the masses, the majority- this infernal compact majority- that poisons the sources of our moral life and infects the ground we stand on.

Don't use that foreign word ideals. We have that excellent native word lies.

A minority may be right, and a majority is always wrong.

Never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.

If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.

Jack LaLanne quotes

What you need to do is get that tape measure out, and start measuring that gut. Then you start working out and you start eating properly till that gut gets down close to it was when you were in your 20's. Then you'll find out what your weight should be.

Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut?

Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you.

Probably millions of Americans got up this morning with a cup of coffee, a cigarette and a donut. No wonder they are sick and fouled up.

So many older people, they just sit around all day long and they don't get any exercise. Their muscles atrophy, and they lose their strength, their energy and vitality by inactivity.

Top 5 quotes by Vince Vaughn

If I'm not interested in a woman, I'm straight-forward. Right after sex, I usually say, 'I can't do this anymore. Thanks for coming over!'

I was lucky I always got along with girls. It was never like a big deal. I had a lot of girls that I was friends with that I wasn't sexual with. I think having two older sisters made me comfortable like that. I just like people, so I can just go up and say whatever.

I loved Old School. I thought Old School was very different than a lot of the comedies that had come out. And that character I liked. I tried to ground him very much in reality and play him very much finding things important to him that are somewhat ridiculous.

I moved out at 18. I always studied classes and trained a lot, you know. I think nowadays is such a different time because there's so many channels promoting the celebrity aspect of things.

You don't worry about being liked. You have to be yourself.

Loretta Lynn quotes

My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.

David Sedaris quotes

Seven beers followed by two Scotches and a thimble of marijuana and it's funny how sleep comes all on it's own.

I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out.

If you read someone else's diary, you get what you deserve.

Jane Fonda quotes

A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring.

To be a revolutionary you have to be a human being. You have to care about people who have no power.

My husband said he wanted to have a relationship with a redhead, so I dyed my hair.

Women are not forgiven for ageing. Robert Redford's lines of distinction are my old-age wrinkles.

You spend all your life trying to do something they put people in asylums for.

Quotes by Tobias Wolff

I recall that my workshop leaders were tactful in their ways of acquainting me with my shortcomings as a writer. So much so that I hardly realized they were doing it. I want always to keep that sort of thing in mind when I'm teaching. The way you get better in everything in this life is to make mistakes. Otherwise you're probably doing it right by accident. But you have to do everything wrong before you can really start with some authority to do it right.

There are very few professions in which people just sit down and think hard for five or six hours a day all by themselves. Of course it's why you want to become a writer - because you have the liberty to do that, but once you have the liberty you also have the obligation to do it.

We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are.

Edward James Olmos quotes

Now I also discipline myself to do things I love to do when I don't want to do them.

Education is the key. But it's the kind of education that we teach that is the key. We don't have it.

I believe that Gandhi was correct. Non-violent civil disobedience is the only way to bring about change that allows people to enjoy the change and not get killed in the process.

At the rate we're going, the 21st century looks pretty clear. It's going to be pretty violent.

I learned to discipline myself to do things I didn't want to do.

Top 5 quotes by Paul Haggis

I miss my mother very, very much.

We give you characters we'd feel very comfortable judging, and then go: 'Oh yeah? Watch this'.

I don't think it's the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.

As a general rule, I don't plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.

We all have these tendencies in us that could go this way or that. I think that's the real key in writing. To look at a character without judgment.

Quotes by Mia Farrow

There are people who are suffering beyond description. They are innocent people, they didn't bring this upon themselves. They are the victims of the sins of other people. And while it's hard to see, it's important to understand that these people exist.

I get it now; I didn't get it then. That life is about losing and about doing it as gracefully as possible... and enjoying everything in between.

Women in Africa, generally a lot needs to be done for women. Women are not being educated, not only in Angola but my trip to Nigeria, one point I would make over and over again was that women need to be educated too.

I want a big career, a big man, and a big life. You have to think big - that's the only way to get it... I just couldn't stand being anonymous.

Quotes by Klemens Von Metternich

Any plan conceived in moderation must fail when the circumstances are set in extremes.

Stability is not immobility.

The men who make history have not time to write it.

It is useless to close the gates against ideas; they overlap them.

Charlotte Rae quotes

We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records. Music was a very important part of our lives.

I always learned to be philanthropic... to give back.

Because of the power of television, I was visible to everybody all over the world. But there are many things in the theater that are more fulfilling and that I look forward to doing more. But really, I love it all: theater, film, television.

You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!... but if it doesn't hit with the public in two minutes, it's bye-bye.

They very seldom let me lose my cool. They made me like I was Polly Perfect, which was ridiculous so that when I bump into kids on the street they'd say 'I wish my Mom were like you.'
