Star Quotations
He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it.
Confucius
There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.
Marilyn Monroe
If I'm a star, then the people made me a star.
Marilyn Monroe
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.
W. Clement Stone
You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.
Bruce Lee
Hitch your wagon to a star.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
Henry David Thoreau
I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.
Milton Berle
