~By George Murray ~

~By Frank Lampard ~
If there is dissatisfaction with the status quo, good. If there is ferment, so much the better. If there is restlessness, I am pleased. Then let there be ideas, and hard thought, and hard work. If man feels small, let man make himself bigger.

~By Tony Wilson ~

~By John Desmond Bernal ~
To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.
~By E. Stanley Jones ~
I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.
~By Bill Gates ~

~By Mark-Paul Gosselaar ~
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.

~By Daniel Yergin ~
The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
~By Fisher Stevens ~

~By Olympia Snowe ~

~By Jason Isaacs ~
The primary factor is proportions.
~By Arne Jacobsen ~
