I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world's deepest inequities... on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but your humanity. ~Bill Gates

It is my object, in the following work, to travel over ground which has as yet been little explored and to make my reader acquainted with a species of Remains, which, though absolutely necessary for understanding the history of the globe, have been hitherto almost uniformly neglected. ~Georges Cuvier

Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Since the day he came into office, President Bush has worked to gut more than 34 years of hard work by weakening many of our Nation's standing environmental laws, some of which were signed into law by his father. ~Jim Jeffords

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

Occasionally, when I get mad at a woman, I'll do some great, awful painting about her. ~Jean-Michel Basquiat
#quotes #jean-michel-basquiat #painting #anger

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 also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science. ~John Polkinghorne

I realized that even in a world of proliferating media venues, online and in print, and on TV and on countless cable channels, the idea that I could be considered an expert on chronic knee pain was I think troubling for society, but very exciting for me. ~John Hodgman

Starting my own business was kind of a wakeup call in a number of different ways. I had to meet a payroll every week, and we had to satisfy customers, and we had competitors that we had to compete with in order to have those customers come into our stores, and we had to compete with other employers for our employees. ~John Mackey

In what bold relief stand out the lives of all walkers of the snow! The snow is a great tell-tale, and blabs as effectually as it obliterates. I go into the woods, and know all that has happened. I cross the fields, and if only a mouse has visited his neighbor, the fact is chronicled. ~John Burroughs

A kind word is like a Spring day. ~Russian Proverb

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

Pay your people the least possible and you'll get from them the same. ~Malcolm Forbes

Law is whatever is boldly asserted and plausibly maintained. ~Aaron Burr

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money. ~Native American Proverb

When one has not father, or mother, or brother, and all one's friends have barely bread enough for themselves, life cannot be very easy, nor its crusts very many at any time. ~Ouida
#quotes #ouida #family #hardship

I watched her for a long time, memorizing her shoulders, her long-legged gait. This was how girls left. They packed up their suitcases and walked away in high heels. They pretended they weren't crying, that it wasn't the worst day of their lives. That they didn't want their mothers to come running after them, begging their forgiveness, that they wouldn't have gone down on their knees and thanked god if they could stay. ~Janet Fitch

Remember how you used to be able to feel your bed breathing and the walls spinning when you were a kid? ~Lynda Barry

Working 14 hours a day until you're 55 and missing your kids growing up is not what I would consider a recipe for happiness. ~Robert Harris
