3 December 2020 Swami Vivekananda The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
3 December 2020 Julia Child I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything.
3 December 2020 Courtney Love I like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I’m consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death.
3 December 2020 Mark Steyn The essence of a government health care system – for people who have never lived under it and don’t know – is waiting, waiting, waiting. You wait for everything. You wait for years for operations that are routine in America.
3 December 2020 Julius Erving But you know, we have a very normal family. We’ve had our ups and downs. You know, we’ve had our issues, but we’ve had great cause for celebration.
3 December 2020 Frank Moore Colby Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?
3 December 2020 William Greider If US per capita income continues to grow at a rate of 1.5 percent a year, the country will have plenty of money to finance comfortable retirements and high-quality healthcare for all citizens, including those at the bottom of the wage ladder.
3 December 2020 Bill Cosby No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I’m not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.
3 December 2020 Laura Schlessinger This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won’t get it back later.
3 December 2020 Kate Atkinson Fairy tales opened up a door into my imagination – they don’t conform to the reality that’s around you as a child. I started reading when I was three and read everything, but I wanted to be an actress.
3 December 2020 Andrew Jackson The duty of government is to leave commerce to its own capital and credit as well as all other branches of business, protecting all in their legal pursuits, granting exclusive privileges to none.
3 December 2020 Ellen Page I really hope that we’ll have a sustainable future on this planet, I really do. So I probably geek out mostly about learning more about how potentially we can hopefully make that happen, hopefully we’re not too far lost.
3 December 2020 P. J. O'Rourke Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.
3 December 2020 Howard Nemerov I never abandoned either forms or freedom. I imagine that most of what could be called free verse is in my first book. I got through that fairly early.

3 December 2020 Mayim Bialik I have a neuroscience background – that’s what my doctorate is in – and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.
3 December 2020 Ernest Dimnet Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
3 December 2020 Vernor Vinge Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.
3 December 2020 Julianna Baggott What does it mean to be Catholic and not a Catholic? I feel adrift, homeless. My Catholic imagination allows me to see the soul as a lit breath, seeking the divine. It persists.
