Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Margaret Thatcher

Inevitability, Fate

Meaningful Quotes

I shouldn't have called them characters to start with. They're individualists. They've grown up in a free and easy atmosphere. They've not been forced to conform to a group of rigid concepts and so they've been themselves. Perhaps the only truly unfettered human beings who still exist today can be found in little villages like this.

Clifford D. Simak

All Flesh is Grass

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

Rudyard Kipling

Motivational Quotes

Instead of talking, he plays. And when he'd better play, he talks.

C'era una volta il West

Manuel Gutiérrez «Cheyenne»

Where the golden character — there is a happy man.

Bye baby, I don't mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon she'll be crying on account of all her lying
Oh yeah just look who's laughing now. He's gonna...

Walk like a man, fast as he can, walk like a man from you
He'll tell the world "Forget about it girl, I'd walk like a man from you".

Heart and Souls

Harrison Winslow

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

Abraham Lincoln

Power, Authority

Meaningful Quotes

But when they desire to clothe themselves the Valar take upon them forms some as of male and some as of female; for that difference of temper they had even from their beginning, and it is but bodied forth in the choice of each, not made by the choice, even as with us male and female may be shown by the raiment but is not made thereby.

J. R. R. Tolkien

— Is he indeed? A man without fault?
— That is not possible for anyone. But it has been my study to avoid those weaknesses which expose ridicule.
— Such as vanity, perhaps, and pride?
— Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride... Where there is a superiority of mind, pride will always be under regulation. I have faults, Miss Bennet, but I hope they're not of understanding. My temper I cannot vouch for. It might be called resentful. My good opinion, once
lost, is lost forever.
— That is a failing indeed, but I cannot laugh at it.
— I believe every disposition has a tendency to some evil.
— Your defect is a propensity to hate everyone.
— Yours is wilfully to misunderstand them.

Pride & Prejudice (1995)

Elisabeth Bennet

— That was two years ago, and that guy's an idiot!
— They can't all be idiots. You argue with everybody! You've got one of the worst reputations in this town. Nobody will hire you.
— Are you saying that nobody in New York will work with me?
— Nobody in Hollywood will either. I can't even get you a commercial. You played a tomato, and they went over schedule because you wouldn't sit.
— Yes, it wasn't logical.
— You were a tomato! A tomato doesn't have logic. It can't move!
— So if he can't move, how's he going to sit down? I was a stand-up tomato. A juicy, sexy, beefsteak tomato! Nobody does vegetables like me! I did vegetables off-Broadway! I did the best tomato, the best cucumber! I did an endive salad that knocked the critics on their ass!

Inspirational Quotes

Don't go down that road. Once you do, there's no way off it.

Motivational Quotes

Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.

Welcome to the inner workings of my mind,
so dark and foul I can't disguise,
can't disguise.
Nights like this
I become afraid
of the darkness in my heart
hurricane.
