Galileo Galilei

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.

Much depends on people knowing what opportunity means; it doesn’t mean a silver platter, it oftener means a spade. Self-help means something sterner than ‘help yourself’–reach over and take it.

Spring is the time of plans and projects.

To me, you’ll always be the rising suns, the sinking moons, and all the stars that come between the sound of rain and river stones, the warmth of my sheets, the ache in my bones.

Never trust anyone who wants what you’ve got. Friend or no, envy is an overwhelming emotion.

I don’t think I’ve made mistakes. Every time somebody said I made a mistake, they do the polls and my numbers go up, so I guess I haven’t made any mistakes.

As we advance in life we learn the limits of our abilities.

A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.

Most choices are driven by immediate results.

For to tempt and to be tempted are things very nearly allied – whenever feeling has anything to do in the matter, no sooner is it excited than we have already gone vastly farther than we are aware of.

I have a private life in which I do not permit interference. It must be respected.

Life is a matter of really tough choices.

Every one knows that insufficient rest and gorging are not good for anyone, either physically or mentally.

Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.
