If the ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, the knowledge of nature is calculated to destroy them.

You envy everyone else who seems to know what they're doing. What keeps you going? The belief that one day you'll also be like that: Elegant. Capable. Confident. Experienced. And you can be. All you need now is enthusiasm. A little bravery. And-always-a sense of humor.

I want young women to know that it is OK to fail - it's not OK to stay home. It's not OK to not try.

Joel OsteenWhat motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow. During the past decade that belief has proved correct.

Strong men believe in cause and effect. The louder he talked of his honesty, the quicker we counted the silverware.
