Bernie Mac

Art is a way to get strength from something that is life-affirming. It can be quite violent and still be life-affirming.

Val Kilmer

Michael Crawford

Glorious the northern lights astream; Glorious the song, when God's the theme; Glorious the thunder's roar: Glorious hosanna from the den; Glorious the catholic amen; Glorious the martyr's gore.

Christopher

Theodore Roosevelt

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.

Elbert Hubbard

Ben Kingsley

The line between failure and success is so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it. How many a person has thrown up his or her hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success. A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

Elbert Hubbard

Now I got kids and I'm more wise now. Life means more to me than having fun. I'm more calm, more wise, and more cautious.
