I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

King of England, and you, duke of Bedford, who call yourself regent of the kingdom of France... settle your debt to the king of Heaven; return to the Maiden, who is envoy of the king of Heaven, the keys to all the good towns you took and violated in France.

Since God had commanded it, it was necessary that I do it. Since God commanded it, even if I had a hundred fathers and mothers, even if I had been a King's daughter, I would have gone nevertheless.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

It is true that the king has made a truce with the duke of Burgundy for fifteen days and that the duke is to turn over the city of Paris at the end of fifteen days. Yet you should not marvel if I do not enter that city so quickly.

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will.

Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

Children say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.

I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

I was in my thirteenth year when I heard a voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very much afraid.

Act, and God will act.

About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they're just one thing.

I'm not afraid... I was BORN for this.

Our films have the ability to tell global audiences who we are, and this is something the government should feel compelled to protect. My film, 'Bend it Like Beckham,' for example, would not have been made without the backing and support of the U.K. Film Council.

Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

The state of our state needs serious attention.

My dad's family is part British and Austrian, and my mother's family is from Goa, which is in the south of India. I looked different from everyone else, which now is such a blessing. It was harder at the beginning of my career.

As someone who has grown up living in Southern California, I know all too well about the costs and scarcities of water.

We live in a world where action is what counts.

I think every person has their own identity and beauty. Everyone being different is what is really beautiful. If we were all the same it would be boring.

I don't see myself as beautiful. I was a kid who was freckle-faced, and they used to call me 'hay head.'

I guess you could say the beginning of my career as an actress was when I started performing in music videos.

A room full of hundreds, let alone thousands, of people is not my most fun thing in the world.

Neuroscience is a baby science, a mere century old, and our scientific understanding of the brain is nowhere near where we'd like it to be. We know more about the moons of Jupiter than what is inside of our skulls.

I was barely in grade school when I helped my mother rearrange the living room furniture for the first time.

The way animals were and are abused appalls me to this very day.

Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

You should never ask anyone for anything. Never- and especially from those who are more powerful than yourself.

It was supposed to be in the second street project for Main Street. But who knows? Maybe it will be built one of these days. We never throw away any idea.

As a candidate, Obama projected himself as a new Reagan, above narrow party politics. He wanted to please all but has ended up annoying many.

We've made science experiments of ourselves and our children.

To lead people walk behind them.

The public is like a piano. You just have to know what keys to poke.

Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.

So I'm going to go on and work on preserving the ozone layer, encouraging everyone to recycle.

When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms the luster of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.

The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
