One trouble is that when Government gets into a business it tends to make it uneconomic for anyone else.
Sir John James Cowperthwaite
Money cannot be converted into houses or trained teachers or hospitals at the touch of a magic wand. There are limitations to our physical and intellectual resources.
Sir John James Cowperthwaite
Quite apart from the prestige of technology, people do, after all, prefer a simple idea to a complex one.
Sir Bernard Rowland Crick
It\'s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.
Maya Angelou
One isnt necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We cant be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya Angelou
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.
Maya Angelou
When one flowers dies, another is born.
Edmund Cooper
Because one has to be an optimist to begin an ambitious project, it is not surprising that underestimation of completion time is the norm.
Fernando Jos (Corby) Corbat
Nations it may be have fashioned their Governments, but the Governments have paid them back in the same coin.
Joseph Conrad
The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.
Joseph Conrad
Now that the wars are coming to an end, I wish you to prosper in peace. May all mortals from now on live like one people in concord and for mutual advancement. Consider the world as your country, with laws common to all and where the best will govern irrespective of tribe. I do not distinguish among men, as the narrow-minded do, both among Greeks and Barbarians. I am not interested in the descendance of the citizens or their racial origins. I classify them using one criterion: their virtue. For me every virtuous foreigner is a Greek and every evil Greek worse than a Barbarian. If differences ever develop between you never have recourse to arms, but solve them peacefully. If necessary, I should be your arbitrator. You must not consider God like an autocratic despot, but as a common Father of all; so your behavior may resemble the life siblings have in a family. On my part I should consider all equals, white or blacks, and wish you all to be not only subjects of the Commonwealth, but participants and partners. As much as this depends on me, I should try to bring about what I promised. The oath we made over tonights libations hold onto as a Contract of Love.
Alexander III
There is only one way to learn It's through action.
Paulo Coelho
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
Paulo Coelho
None are so fond of secrets as those who do not mean to keep them; such persons covet secrets as a spendthrift covets money, for the purpose of circulation.
Charles Caleb Colton
I cant tell someone that their dreams are impossible.
Paulo Coelho
