Friedrich NietzscheImaginary evils soon become real one by indulging our reflections on them.
John RuskinAll these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man’s actions.
Albert EinsteinQuarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?
George EliotThe common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.
Bill GatesCommunications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn’t mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain. So you may think that you’re addicted to online reading, but as soon as it isn’t available anymore, your brain will pretty immediately adjust to other forms of reading. It’s a habit like all habits.
Margaret AtwoodIt may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.

Jim RohnBefore I look stupid and not know what a word means or how to pronounce it, I’ll stop the whole production: ‚Hey, real quick, guys. Define this word for me. Somebody.‘
Kevin HartSuspicion always haunts the guilty mind.
William ShakespeareWithout tact you can learn nothing.
Benjamin DisraeliThat’s the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they’d be like, ‚Yeah, big deal. I’d eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you’re pulling down.‘
Jim CarreyTalk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.
Thomas CarlylePut it this way: If I asked, ‚How’s business?‘ and you say, ‚Boomin‘ or ‚Amazing,‘ I already know the answer.
DJ KhaledWhat can I say? I’m a talker.
Conor McGregorTo be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple.
Angelina JolieThe instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.
VoltaireThere is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.
George EliotWhat is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.

Friedrich NietzscheI may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
Winston ChurchillWhen he speaks to you he speaks with an earnest vibe and an earnest energy.
Dwayne JohnsonI think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right, even when you’re not sure it is.
Angelina JolieIn this experiment, made on the 9th of October, 1876, actual conversation, backwards and forwards, upon the same line, and by the same instruments reciprocally used, was successfully carried on for the first time upon a real line of miles in length.
Alexander Graham BellToo often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Winston ChurchillThe secret of being a bore… is to tell everything.
VoltaireI don’t understand why or how we can bully each other.
AuroraI’m a people pleaser. I hold a lot of things in. I’m always making sure everybody is okay. I usually don’t rage; I usually don’t curse.
Beyonce KnowlesPeace comes when you talk to the guy you most hate. And that’s where the courage of a leader comes, because when you sit down with your enemy, you as a leader must already have very considerable confidence from your own constituency.
Desmond TutuThere can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.
Golda MeirI don’t like people going behind my back.
Abby Lee MillerWhy don’t they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as prohibition did, in five years Americans would be the smartest race of people on Earth.
Will RogersMen and women do think differently, and frankly, we don’t understand each other. Not at all! But that’s what makes relationships so amazing.
Kevin HartThe personal ego already has a strong element of dysfunction, but the collective ego is, frequently, even more dysfunctional, to the point of absolute insanity.
Eckhart TolleYes, I, well, when I write, as often as I can, I try to write as if I’m talking to people. It doesn’t always work, and one shouldn’t always try it, but I try and write as if I am talking, and trying to engage the reader in conversation.
Christopher HitchensIdleness is the parent of psychology.
Friedrich NietzscheThe true triumph of reason is that it enables us to get along with those who do not possess it.

Mark ZuckerbergI’m the most boring person to talk to.
The WeekndSuit the action to the word, the word to the action.
William ShakespeareWords can be said in bitterness and anger, and often there seems to be an element of truth in the nastiness. And words don’t go away, they just echo around.
Jane GoodallHear reason, or she’ll make you feel her.
Benjamin FranklinI don’t know about you, but most of my exchanges with cashiers are not that meaningful.
Jeff BezosA man’s face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man’s thoughts and aspirations.
Arthur SchopenhauerIf I could explain it to the average person, it wouldn’t have been worth the Nobel Prize.
Richard P. FeynmanI suppose that’s one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.
Charlie ChaplinBecause of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.
Eckhart TolleIf you think only of evil, then you become pessimistic and hopeless like Freud. But if you think there is no evil, then you’re just one more deluded Pollyanna.
Abraham MaslowHuman language appears to be a unique phenomenon, without significant analogue in the animal world.
Noam ChomskyIt’s a very good question, very direct, and I’m not going to answer it.
George H. W. BushDiplomacy is the art of saying ‚Nice doggie‘ until you can find a rock.
Will RogersThe difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
Salvador DaliFear is the thought of admitted inferiority.
Elbert HubbardIf you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.
Arthur SchopenhauerBut behavior in the human being is sometimes a defense, a way of concealing motives and thoughts, as language can be a way of hiding your thoughts and preventing communication.

Albert EinsteinRepartee is something we think of twenty-four hours too late.
Mark Twain
