Let me make it clear that I do not assert that a President and the Congress must on all points agree with each other at all times. Many times in history there has been complete disagreement between the two branches of the Government, and in these disagreements sometimes the Congress has won and sometimes the President has won. But during the administration of the present President we have had neither agreement nor a clear-cut battle. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

To break boundaries interests me. With all the knowledge that is available now in the world, it should be accessible to everyone. You can get so much information on the Internet now, and yet there are so many places in the world where people just don't have the education. ~Melanie Griffith

#quotes #marion-woodman #conscious

How we shape our understanding of others' lives is determined by what we find memorable in them, and that in turn is determined not by any potentially accurate overview of another's personality but rather by the tension and balance that exist in our daily relationships. ~Tom Robbins
#quotes #tom-robbins #memories #personality

The truest success is but the development of self. ~Charles Atlas
#quotes #charles-atlas #self

Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth. ~Simone de Beauvoir

In running, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress.

#quotes #amby-burfoot #sports #marathon

#quotes #john-polkinghorne #science

I believe that how you feel is very important to how you look; that healthy equals beautiful. ~Victoria Principal
