Random Quotes and Quotations
 He speaks English with the flawless imperfection of a New Yorker.  We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts. What God expects us to attempt, He also enables us to achieve. The trouble with specialists is that they tend to think in grooves. I would not sit waiting for some value tomorrow, nor for something to happen. One could wait a lifetime. ... I would make something happen. I like life. It's something to do. Somewhere on this globe every 10 seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped. The Englishman is under no constitutional obligation to believe that all men are created equal. The American agony is therefore scarcely intelligible, like a saint's self-flagellation viewed by an atheist. One can find traces of every life in each life. You have striven so hard, and so long, to compel life. Can't you now slowly change, and let life slowly drift into you ... let the invisible life steal into you and slowly possess you. No great thing comes to any man unless he has courage. Schoolmasters and parents exist to be grown out of. I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I have inspired the nation. It was the nation and the race dwelling all around the globe that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar. This is the way of peace-overcome evil with good, and falsehood with truth, and hatred with love. But to him who tries and fails and dies, I give great honor and glory and tears. Now landsmen all, whoever you may be, If you want to rise to the top of the tree. If your soul isn't fettered to an office stool, Be careful to be guided by this golden rule - Stick close to your desks and never go to to sea, And you may all be Rulers of the Queen's Navee. Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repairing. Zeal is very blind, or badly regulated, when it encroaches upon the rights of others. All great men come out of the middle classes. You can and you can't, You will and you won't; You'll be damn'd if you do, You'll be damn'd if you don't. Not a day passes over this earth but men and women of note do great deeds, speak great words and suffer noble sorrows.
