People say, "Don't you get tired of people coming up to you all the time?" But what's wrong with strangers saying they love you? ~John C. Reilly

I would say you have an ethical obligation to pay the taxes that you owe, but you don't have an ethical obligation to pay taxes that you do not owe. In fact, you should be seeking ways to legally minimise your taxes. ~John Mackey

In our changing world nothing changes more than geography. ~Pearl S. Buck

"Feminist comedy," practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII. Chalk it up to the forced female autonomy that occurred during wartime, when Rosie the Riveter went to work in the factories, constructing the Allies' war machines while taking charge of the finances, the home, and the children. ~Grace Slick

You are playing worse and worse every day and right now you are playing like it's next month. ~Herb Brooks

The real difference between telling what happened and telling a story about what happened is that instead of being a victim of our past, we become master of it. ~Donald Davis

I'm living the dream. ~David Petraeus
#quotes #david-petraeus #dream #happiness

We should constantly be aspiring to reach higher and higher and higher. We should never be comfortable where we are. ~Lauryn Hill
#quotes #lauryn-hill #trying

The natural mind is ever prone to reason, when we ought to believe; to be at work, when we ought to be quiet; to go our own way, when we ought steadily to walk on in God's ways, however trying to nature. ~George Muller

If Darwin could see what we now see, what we now know about the ocean, about the atmosphere, about the nature of life, as we now understand it, about the importance of microbes. I think he would just beam with joy that many of the thoughts and the glimpses of the majesty of life on Earth that he had during his life, now magnified many times over. ~Sylvia Earle

In wintertime I like to wear flannel button down pyjamas, and in summer I prefer to wear, well; nothing. ~Phoebe Tonkin

If you represent the Earth's lifetime by a single year, say from January when it was made to December, the 21st-century would be a quarter of a second in June; a tiny fraction of the year. But even in this concertinaed cosmic perspective, our century is very, very special; the first when humans can change themselves and their home planet. ~Martin Rees

I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly. ~Pete Sampras

My filmmaking education consisted of finding out what filmmakers I liked were watching, then seeing those films. I learned the technical stuff from books and magazines, and with the new technology you can watch entire movies accompanied by audio commentary from the director. You can learn more from John Sturges' audio track on the "Bad Day at Black Rock" laserdisc than you can in 20 years of film school. Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it. ~Paul Thomas Anderson

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. ~Oprah Winfrey

Actions speak louder than words. ~English Proverb

Strength and compassion are not mutually exclusive. ~Robert Kiyosaki
#quotes #robert-kiyosaki #strength #compassion

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle

I think that it is expansive for the mind, for the fantasy of children and grownups alike, to understand that the world is huge. There is so much in the world to experience, and the odds are so essential to life. ~Jessye Norman

I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men. ~Coco Chanel

My husband and I go to Il Fico every Friday, and I get the whole-wheat pizza. I won't eat pizza anywhere else! ~Kelly Wearstler
