Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
John Locke

Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.
Woody Allen

Let us try to teach generosity and altruism, because we are born selfish.
Richard Dawkins

Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.

I will never do another TV series. It couldn't top I Love Lucy, and I'd be foolish to try. In this business, you have to know when to get off.

When you try to find funding for a VVA function, it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war.
R. Lee Ermey

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

John Steinbeck

A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.
Alan Watts

Alan Watts

One might as well try to ride two horses moving in different directions, as to try to maintain in equal force two opposing or contradictory sets of desires.
Robert Collier

I don't know the rules of grammar... If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think. We try to write in the vernacular.
David Ogilvy

Our business is infested with idiots who try to impress by using pretentious jargon.
David Ogilvy

Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
George Bernard Shaw

So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.
Lee Iacocca

Any supervisor worth his salt would rather deal with people who attempt too much than with those who try too little.
