How wretched is the person who hangs on by the favors of the powerful.

Oh would some power the gift give us, to see ourselves as others see us!

My heart 's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart 's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer.

Now's the day and now's the hour.

Gie me ae spark o' Nature's fire, That's a' the learning I desire.

There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.

The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o' the morn.

The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men, Gang aft a-gley, And leave us nought but grief and pain, For promised joy.

Dare to be honest and fear no labor.

But pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed; Or, like the snow-fall in the river, A moment white, then melts forever.

I have set my mind to make sure I am prepared to accept success, whatever the trials ahead, whatever the work required.

My top priority is to stop the cuts to our public schools.

A lot of people who claim they're political comedians are just comedians who have opinions. But they stop being funny the minute they give their opinions.

I don't have the hard everyday life that so many working mothers face.

I've always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that.

All holy piety in public, and all peeled grapes and self-indulgence in private.

God bless the roots! Body and soul are one.
