    "The advice I like to give to young people, or really anyone who'll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike, you can sit around for a long time. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction." —Chuck Close

    "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. I felt fear myself more times than I can remember, but I hid it behind a mask of boldness. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers fear." —Nelson Mandela

    A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.


    Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.

    Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

    Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

    Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

    I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on.

    I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.

    If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.

    It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself.

    Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

    Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.

    Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

    One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

    The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

    You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

    No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

    People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

    from the master eleanor roosevelt only second to malcolm.

    " I will remain as I have promised: a solider of ideas, as long as I can think and breathe": Fidel Castro, in an editorial published Tuesday throughout Cuba, surprising many, He wrote that he had resigned all positions of power, including his leadership of the state communist party, when he fell ill in 2006.
