What is better than wisdom? Woman. And what is better than a good woman? Nothing.

Geoffrey Chaucer

A man gains no possession better than a good woman, nothing more horrible than a bad one.

Simonides of Ceos

There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one.

Euripides

The thing about champagne,you say, unfoiling the cork, unwinding the wire restraint, is that is the ultimate associative object. Every time you open a bottle of champagne, it's a celebration, so there's no better way of starting a celebration than opening a bottle of champagne. Every time you sip it, you're sipping from all those other celebrations. The joy accumulates over time.

David Levithan

I have always tried to drive a car that was better than me, and race against people who were better than me. If you are surrounded by people who are as good as you, or not as good, how are you going to learn?

Joey Logano

Be confident in the work you did to prepare for the race. Take a look back at your training logs to remind yourself that you've done everything possible to prepare. The race is the fun part where you get to see the hard work pay off. Enjoy it.

Desiree Linden

A good party is where you enjoy good people, and they taste even better with Champagne.

Wilson Mizner

I love champagne, but I don't have champagne every night. If I go out, and I want to have a drink, I'll have a glass of champagne.

Lori Loughlin

It is better to pay court to a queen ... than to worship, as we too often do, some unworthy person whose wealth is his sole passport into society. I believe that a habit of respect is good for the human race.

M. E. W. Sherwood

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and bea hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave towealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to havedone nothing and succeeded at it.

Erwin W. Lutzer

Today I felt like a part of something awesome, the human race. I know it can be ugly; it really is in so many ways. But today there was nothing ugly to see, just people trying to be better. And maybe that's the key. Not resolutions and forgotten promises, but instead a commitment to do this year a little better than the last. I'm feeling good about this one. I really am.

Andrew McMahon

For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.

Hesiod

As a woman of color, I've come to rely on straight white men telling me my experience of the world has nothing to do with my gender, race or class. (Unless something good happens to me, in which case they tell me my gender, race and/or class is exactly why that thing happened).

Sarah Cooper

Some writers, of course, simply write, as they feel they are driven to do, by outer/inner inspirations. If, after the work is written and, hopefully, published, others respond -- that is the Champagne. But we, or some of us, don't write for the Champagne. We write because we write.
