A big man has no time really to do anything but just sit and be big.
F. Scott FitzgeraldAll I’m for is the liberty of the individual.
John WayneFreedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.

Angelina JolieGod grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: ‚This is my country.‘
Benjamin FranklinWhat I like to do is get the family in the pick-up truck… and then we just go for a drive. That’s it!
Dwayne JohnsonNature abhors annihilation.

Blaise PascalThe cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.
John F. KennedyTime is money.
Benjamin FranklinThere is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.
Napoleon BonaparteI would venture to guess that the biggest reason creative types don’t produce isn’t because they don’t have vision… or talent… in most cases, it’s a lack of discipline.

Dale CarnegieIf you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
Bruce LeeIf physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive.
Martin Luther King, Jr.It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.
John RuskinConcentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty.
Ronald ReaganOpinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law. If it goes past the centre of gravity on one side, it must go a like distance on the other; and it is only after a certain time that it finds the true point at which it can remain at rest.
Arthur SchopenhauerI want to make something that is breathtaking. Of course, you can’t make something that is always breathtaking, or you would never be able to breathe. You would collapse.
Brian EnoHaving unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.
David ByrneI tend not to look back and dwell on a project once it is finished.
Angelina JolieToo much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth; give him too much, the same.
Blaise PascalWe do not need the empire to give us anything.

Charles SpurgeonI thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
Virginia WoolfWhen you’re outside, and everything is highland, it’s like nature has its own sound, and that’s one of my favorite sounds. I really loved sitting still silently outside, in a tree or in a bush, to just think.
AuroraI am so busy doing nothing… that the idea of doing anything – which as you know, always leads to something – cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.
Jerry SeinfeldFor me, it’s about becoming a mogul, owning my own projects, and establishing myself as a funding producer. That’s what’s big to me. The movies and all that stuff are great, but the fact that I’m in a position to do what I want to do, however I want to do it and when I want to do it is bigger.
Kevin HartA man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.
Elbert HubbardI feel like in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn’t say in real life.
Taylor SwiftAt the end of the day, the TV show is the best job in the world. I get to go anywhere I want, eat and drink whatever I want. As long as I just babble at the camera, other people will pay for it. It’s a gift.
Anthony BourdainNothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.
Henry FordWorkers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains.
Karl MarxNo one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

Billie EilishThe thing about the 600 words, I mean some day, you can do a very, very, very hard day’s work and not write a word, just revising, or you would scribble a few words.
J. K. RowlingWe cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. The teaching of the church is clear, and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.
Pope FrancisOne cannot become a saint when one works sixteen hours a day.
Jean-Paul SartreNearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.

Winston ChurchillThe magic of America is that we’re a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.
Madeleine AlbrightGetting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you’ve started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can’t get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?
Joyce MeyerWhen one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.
Friedrich NietzscheI have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

Jean-Jacques RousseauExtreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.
Friedrich NietzscheA fortunate author can write maybe twelve novels in his lifetime.

Dolly PartonStep with care and great tact, and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act.
Dr. SeussFreedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.
Wayne DyerThe real power of the Buddha was that he had so much love. He saw people trapped in their notions of small separate self, feeling guilty or proud of that self, and he offered revolutionary teachings that resounded like a lion’s roar, like a great rising tide, helping people to wake up and break free from the prison of ignorance.
Thich Nhat HanhThe spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.
Thomas JeffersonI’ve never had writer’s block.
David Byrne
