Charles Caleb Colton

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

It is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected.

I think I am basically a happy person.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

It’s just a matter of managing expectations. So for me, for example, you know, when your husband is President of the United States and you have children, something has got to give. I’ve made compromises in my life and my career, but I’ve also, in exchange, gained a wonderful platform to do some great work.

I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.

What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!

You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

If two men agree on everything, you may be sure that one of them is doing the thinking.

I think you’re running into a lot of trouble if your idea of foreplay is, ‘Brace yourself honey, here I come!’

When a thought is too weak to be expressed simply, simply drop it.

If the people really set their minds on anything it is impossible to prevent their getting what they want.

Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
