Albert Einstein
Image
The feeling for what ought and ought not to be grows and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good. What the individual can do is give a fine example, and have the courage to firmly uphold ethical convictions in a society of cynics. I have for a long time tried to conduct myself this way, with varying success.
Albert Einstein

William Peter Blatty

Let go of me or slow down, she demanded as she tried to keep pace with him. He slowed down. I swear to God, you try the patience of a saint. You aren't a saint, Brodick, no matter what your mother might have told you.
Julie Garwood

Whenever I have a birthday, I think back over the past year, how I've spent my time, what I've accomplished, what regrets I have, how I've tried to make the world a better place, and what exactly I've been doing with my life over the past 365 days, and I think to myself: 'Man, I wish I'd gotten laid more'.
Richard M. Weiner
Image
A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.
Samuel Butler

Janet Evanovich

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade.

Alain de Botton
Image
They tried to say that being gay is a sin, and I said that adultery is a sin. Adultery is responsible for breaking up more marriages, but do we put that in the Constitution? It’s absurd.
Al Sharpton
Image
I think a singer is an athlete. I've always tried to stay fit. Until my knee said, Uh-uh, I was jogging. Then I started walking. They don't like walking a lot, but I'll push them.
Al Jarreau

In my family, there were Kei and Minoru and then there were the rest. Everyone in my family is very opinionated and everyone tried to join the debate. But by the time my turn came, there was nothing left to say. I couldn't keep pace, so I looked to do my own things.
