| Quote:The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.[Victor Hugo] Quote:I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.[Dave Barry] Quote:Skiing combines outdoor fun with knocking down trees with your face.[Dave Barry] Quote:On the Japanese news, if the announcers had happy faces and perky voices, I knew that meant good news, such as that Japanese scientists had discovered a way to make VCR's even more difficult for Americans to program; whereas if the announcers had serious voices and frowny faces, it meant bad news, such as the worsening eel shortage.[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.[George Dennison Prentice] Quote:I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.[Lauren Bacall] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:We are so concerned to flatter the majority that we lose sight of how very often it is necessary, in order to preserve freedom for the minority,let alone for the individual, to face that majority down.[William F. Buckley] Quote:More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.[Woody Allen] Quote:In politics, strangely enough, the best way to play your cards is to lay them face upwards on the table.[H.G. Wells] Quote:In the faces of men and women I see God.[Walt Whitman] Quote:You must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you necessarily wise because you are grave.[Sydney Smith] Quote:At 50, everyone has the face he deserves.[George Orwell] Quote:If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving that upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity.[Daniel Webster] Quote:I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.[Groucho Marx] Quote:You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you cannot do.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.[Ansel Adams] Quote:Playing dead not only comes in handy when face to face with a bear, but also at important business meetings.[Jack Handey] Quote:The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.[Jack Handey] Quote:The great virtue in life is real courage that knows how to face facts and live beyond them.[D.H. Lawrence] Quote:Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic. [Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Life's dirty. Life's unclean you know. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey, mud pies. That's us. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:I have seen men fly bombers with their faces half- blown away. You're going to allow a few algebra formulas to ground you? [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] Quote:Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society... [Herbert Hoover] Quote:Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:We can be sure that the greatest hope for maintaining equilibrium in the face of any situation rests within ourselves. [Henri Matisse] Quote:The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible. [Albert Einstein] Quote:The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face. [Jim Bishop] Quote: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. [Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away, The earth goes down into a vale of grief, And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay-- Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses. [Charles Kingsley] Quote:Painting is the art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic. [Ambrose Bierce] Quote:My dad was the town drunk.
