Lillian Friedman
- Child
I'm not sure why people have kids. You know, first there's the nine months of agony, your body hurts, it's hot, it's cold, you crave pickles, and there's no words to describe whatever the f labor is. And then this little stranger comes out, sucking every bit of life you have left in you, and as soon as you're ready to jump out of a window, all of a sudden, he smiles.
Jason Statham
- Healthy
Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. If you have a healthy relationship and lifestyle, your diet is set, and you're working out, you're going to feel good.
Bill Bryson
- Scientific Discovery
There are three stages in scientific discovery. First, people deny that it is true, then they deny that it is important; finally, they credit the wrong person.
Albert Einstein
- Thoughtlessness
Those who thoughtlessly make use of the miracles of science and technology, without understanding more about them than a cow eating plants understands about botany, should be ashamed of themselves.
Albert Einstein
- Race the Universe
There is a race between mankind and the universe. Mankind is trying to build bigger, better, faster, and more foolproof machines. The universe is trying to build bigger, better, and faster fools. So far the universe is winning.
Albert Einstein
- Loner
Although I am a typical loner in daily life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of those who strive for truth, beauty, and justice has preserved me from feeling isolated.
Pope Francis (non-religious)
- Peacock
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity is this: look at the peacock; it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Steven Crowder
- Backbone
I'm guessing that ability to withstand peer pressure and adhere to one's values might translate to the kind of backbone necessary for a successful lifelong relationship.
Cenk Uygur
- Love What You Do
If you love what you do, you're going to work hard enough at it in order to succeed. If you don't love what you do, you're never going to be able to work hard enough to make it work.
Gordon B. Hinckley
- Service of Others
Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others... By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.
Mike Pence
- Golden Rule
I abhor discrimination. The way I was raised was like most Hoosiers, with the golden rule, that you should do unto others what you'd have them do unto you.
Andrew Yang
- Standing Up
I grew up a skinny Asian kid who was often ignored or picked on. It stuck with me and branded my soul. As I grew up, I tried to stick up for whoever seemed excluded or marginalized.
Mother Teresa (non-religious)
- Love
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa (non-religious)
- Disruption of Peace
Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.
Mother Teresa (non-religious)
- Pro-peace
I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.
