3 December 2020 James Nasmyth OUR history begins before we are born. We represent the hereditary influences of our race, and our ancestors virtually live in us.
3 December 2020 Petra Ecclestone My mom came from such humble beginnings and especially my dad as well. He didn’t go to university.
3 December 2020 Sarah Sutton Before I got Doctor Who, I went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I went back to take the final grade exam, which is the grade you have to take before you can take the teacher’s diploma.
3 December 2020 Don Van Vliet Johnny Rotten. He’s a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he’d stand up and holler. He’s funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don’t think he’s a jerk because he isn’t.
3 December 2020 Jane Austen Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
3 December 2020 Bruce Springsteen There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism.

3 December 2020 Oscar Wilde Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.
3 December 2020 Condoleezza Rice Success is not assured, but America is resolute: this is the best chance for peace we are likely to see for some years to come – and we are acting to help Israelis and Palestinians seize this chance.
3 December 2020 Lukas Foss That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief, we want to know how much money he stole, and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom, but what he did with it.
3 December 2020 Shirley MacLaine The soul is everlasting, and its learning experience is lifetime after lifetime.
3 December 2020 Chris O'Donnell I think it’s easiest to teach by example. My dad didn’t tell us to work hard we just saw how hard he worked. I know I have shortcomings – like a short fuse – but I’ve learned you can’t come home from a long day of work and snap at the kids.
3 December 2020 Theodore Roosevelt There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.
3 December 2020 Martina Navratilova If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I’d have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn’t enjoy spending it.
3 December 2020 Harry Harrison The principles we live by, in business and in social life, are the most important part of happiness.
3 December 2020 Allison Janney I’d like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.

3 December 2020 Mae West One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it.
3 December 2020 John Stuart Mill The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
3 December 2020 Katie Price The only ones I trust really are my Mum and Dad and those who are closest to me.
3 December 2020 Friedrich August von Hayek It seems to me that socialists today can preserve their position in academic economics merely by the pretense that the differences are entirely moral questions about which science cannot decide.
