Greek - Philosopher
544 BC - 483 BC

The air is Zeus, Zeus earth, and Zeus the heaven, Zeus all that is, and what transcends them all.

Aeschylus

Of themselves diseases come upon men continually by day and by night, bringing mischief to mortals silently; for wise Zeus took away speech from them. So is there no way to escape the will of Zeus

Hesiod

Proud is the spirit of Zeus-fostered kings - their honor comes from Zeus, and Zeus, god of council, loves them.

Homer

But he is unworthy the name of a minister of the gospel of peace, who is unwilling, not only to have his name cast out as evil, but also to die for the truths of the Lord Jesus.

George Whitefield

What in the name of Zeus's testicles?

Darynda Jones

All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise - and those who are happy - embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.

Rasheed Ogunlaru

Zeus, first cause, prime mover; for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?

Aeschylus

There's a notion of art in this country that you have to be nutty or special or "called" in order to be an artist. I believe the questions everyone should ask themselves are, "Do you want to do it? Are you willing to do it poorly? Are you willing to do the work of doing it? Are you willing to persist when everybody tells you it's silly?" If you're willing to do that, then you can do it.

Kate DiCamillo

We would like you to reach the place where you're not willing to listen to people criticize one another... where you take no satisfaction from somebody being wrong... where it matters to you so much that you feel good, that you are only willing to think positive things about people... you are only willing to look for positive aspects; you are only willing to look for solutions, and you are not willing to beat the drum of all of the problems of the world.

Esther Hicks

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.

Gautama Buddha

Fate leads the willing, and th' unwilling draws.

Francois Rabelais

The fates lead the willing, and drag the unwilling.

Seneca the Younger

A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer.

Maya Angelou

At school I was called Fred, which is my middle name. At that time, Fred was considered to be a bit of a horrible name, so that's why. Otherwise, I was called Titchy because I was little. I was still only about 4ft something when I left school. I grew a foot under glass in my first year as a gardener. It's really quite amazing what sun and manure can do.

Alan Titchmarsh

When it comes to public school education, we have been unwilling to measure our results. We've been unwilling to pay based on performance. We have tenure where, even if you can't teach, you can't get fired. We've been unwilling to invest in new schools.

Michael Bloomberg

Being called Gary. It's a crap name. I wish I'd been called by my middle name, Winston.

Gary Lineker
