Edgardo Osorio
I came up in Brooklyn singing doo-wop music from the time I was 13 to the time I was 20. That music served a purpose of keeping a lot of people out of trouble, and also it was a passport from one neighborhood to another.
Richie Havens
Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire you can smell it taste it and see it from a mile away.
Denis Waitley
When I was at 'SNL,' I would constantly get in arguments, 'Why aren't we more political? We're not going after Bush.' Then look what happened - that Sarah Palin season, they were on fire. It was about something.
Adam McKay

Violating the 4th Amendment guarantees against illegal searches and seizures is not the way to solve crime problems.
Tim Wise
I believe in God and a higher power. I'm still not the religious type per se because religion tore my family apart. I'm still a little scared and skeptical being one with any faith.
Ja Rule
My mother is not a model. She is not perfect. That awareness is part of learning to love someone. Predicting the actions of someone is an act of love. We persist, even when we get it wrong. That's the beauty of love.
Daniel Tammet
The city Babel is the Ham-like man, who builds this city upon the earth; the tower is his self-chosen god, and divine worship. All reason-taught, from the school of this world, are the master-builders of this tower.
Jakob Bohme
I am not a hereditary politician and do not have any substantial asset.
Yoshihiko Noda

Manfred von Richthofen
A country can truly call itself sporting when the majority of its people feel a personal need for sport.
Pierre de Coubertin
Though it's frequently portrayed as this crazy, unbridled festival of rain-soaked, stoned hippies dancing in the mud, Woodstock was obviously much more than that - or we wouldn't still be talking about it in 2009. People of all ages and colors came together in the fields of Max Yasgur's farm.
Richie Havens
Immature is the love of the youth, and immature his hatred of man and earth. His mind and the wings of his spirit are still tied down and heavy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The fact is prosperity has a purpose. It's to allow us to pursue "the better angels," to give us time to think and grow.
George H. W. Bush
