Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues. Rumi Read Quote
For much of my career I had no authentic political voice. I had been campaigning all over the country not to change the world or shake up my audiences but to please the roomful of people to whom I was speaking… As a result, my words rarely had the ring of truth to the nonpolitical observer. Bill Bradley Read Quote
I honestly think that with our generation – Alex Wang, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Christian Cota, Robert Geller – there’s a different expectation of what our behavior should be. People expect designers to be good businesspeople and PR people, and I don’t think partying is a part of that persona the way it used to be. Joseph Altuzarra Read Quote
I take every day as it comes, try to work hard and benefit from the training. Shaun Wright-Phillips Read Quote
I started reading seriously at seven or eight, books about myths and legends, the Narnia series. By the time I was 11, I had read all the children’s books in my local library, so I moved on to ‘Jane Eyre.’ What I loved about Jane Eyre was that she didn’t rely on her looks but her character. She had a spirit nobody could break. Malorie Blackman Read Quote
My mom always makes the whole family pile into the car and drive around to look at the Christmas lights. My brother and I never want to do it, but my mom just loves it! Debby Ryan Read Quote
The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, ‘I was wrong’. Sydney J. Harris Read Quote
A high-speed connection is no more an essential civil right than 3G cell phone service or a Netflix account. Increasing competition and restoring academic excellence in abysmal public schools is far more of an imperative to minority children than handing them iPads. Michelle Malkin Read Quote
We must declare ourselves, become known; allow the world to discover this subterranean life of ours which connects kings and farm boys, artists and clerks. Let them see that the important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself. Gore Vidal Read Quote
