Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Franz Marc

Walter Lord

But the West of the old times, with its strong characters, its stern battles and its tremendous stretches of loneliness, can never be blotted from my mind.
Buffalo Bill

Chuck Barris

I don't blame David Stern because a player gets on the court and he doesn't put out competitively. No one can make you play if you don't want to play.

Corbin Bernsen

I think that the truth is a really stern taskmistress.
Carrie Fisher

I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.
Rosanna Arquette

I'm from New York, so I'm a big Howard Stern fan.
Stephen Root

It is funny because the guy who is my boss now, Howard Stern, has a similarity there. He got big being a regular guy. He wasn't the greatest looking guy in the world.
Artie Lange
