Art is not a thing; it is a way.
Elbert HubbardI’m pretty calculating. I take stuff that I know appeals to people’s bad sides and match it up with stuff that appeals to their good sides.
Kanye WestYou can’t knock on opportunity’s door and not be ready.
Bruno MarsAs soon as I accomplish one goal, I replace it with another one. I try not to get too far ahead of myself. I just say to myself, ‚All right, well, I’d like to headline a tour,‘ and then when I get there, we’ll see what my next goal is.

A. P. J. Abdul KalamWhat I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life. And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.
Michelle ObamaThere have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.
Elon MuskA woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.
Groucho MarxI think it is perfectly natural for any artist to admire intensely and love a young man. It is an incident in the life of almost every artist.
Oscar WildeI think we’ve taken the meaning of Christmas out. People don’t stop and think about Jesus or the birth of Jesus. When they think of Christmas, they think of Santa Claus and – for the children, and they think of giving gifts and out-giving the next person of spending their time looking for the right thing for somebody who has everything.
Billy GrahamA tragedy is a representation of an action that is whole and complete and of a certain magnitude. A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end.
AristotleIf you try and work out at 4:30 in the afternoon, how many people are going to chip away at that time? Your boss, your job, your work, your family, your other obligations that you might have. At 4:30 in the morning, all those people are asleep, so you can do whatever you want.
Jocko WillinkThe more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

Greta ThunbergThere are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
Ronald ReaganThe poets are only the interpreters of the gods.
SocratesThere is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.
Joseph AddisonGod has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.
Joel OsteenYou’ve got to go out on a limb sometimes because that’s where the fruit is.
Will RogersI want to use my position of leadership to help move along at a faster pace what I believe and know the Obama administration wants to do around the urgency of climate change.
Kamala HarrisPoetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamMeditation is not to avoid society; it is to look deep to have the kind of insight you need to take action. To think that it is just to sit down and enjoy the calm and peace, is wrong.

Bob MarleyI booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know. And writing Langston Hughes replica poems became me wanting to write like Stevie Wonder.
Frank OceanAfter silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous HuxleyIf I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
Hunter S. ThompsonIf you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.
Elon MuskPoetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
Robert FrostLife is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Albert EinsteinMen’s actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe bravest person I’ve ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease. I last saw him at a Discworld convention, where he chose to take part in a game as an assassin. He died not long afterwards, and I wish I had his fortitude and sense of style.

Salvador DaliTo excel at the highest level – or any level, really – you need to believe in yourself, and hands down, one of the biggest contributors to my self-confidence has been private coaching.
Stephen CurryThe average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
Andrew CarnegieWe never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it.
Robert Baden-PowellLife doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.

Steve JobsIn any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Theodore RooseveltAny time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it’s damaging.
Joyce MeyerThe secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

Dave GrohlRemember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.Strong emotions such as passion and bliss are indications that you’re connected to Spirit, or ‚inspired,‘ if you will. When you’re inspired, you activate dormant forces, and the abundance you seek in any form comes streaming into your life.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
