Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export. Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea; in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ~Thomas Sowell

For my own style, I love vintage. 60's and 70's are my favorite. I love baby doll dresses and the soft colors. I try to mix a little bit of modern into that; maybe I'll wear it with boots. At my school we wear a uniform, but we have one day a week we can wear whatever we want. ~Elle Fanning

People should decide "are you willing to spend all this money to go to Mars?" I think the average person on the ground would never spend that amount of money; they have to spend it on something that makes sense and this is definitely saving our planet. ~Felix Baumgartner

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

I have my own voice and can focus only on that. I know what I like; I find my inspirations in so many other places than just online and bring that into my work. ~Hanneli Mustaparta
#quotes #hanneli-mustaparta #inspiration #work #music

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai
#quotes #osamu-dazai #life #mother #hardship

You either go through your life working for someone and getting a paycheck; and it can be a damn good paycheck, and I am not complaining as someone who has always been a salaried employee; or you can go out and become an entrepreneur. ~Al Michaels
