Stephen Harper – The job numbers are positive…

Image
“The job numbers are positive. We’ve had more jobs created now than were lost during the recession. We’re seeing that the creation, we’re seeing those numbers not only grow but shift toward the private sector and shift toward full-time employment and these are all signs that the recovery is taking some hold but we’re not out of woods.” -Stephen Harper via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2WuklA9

Stephen Jay Gould – Goethe died in 1832. As…

Image
“Goethe died in 1832. As you know, Goethe was very active in science. In fact, he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore, they felt, he couldn’t be serious.” -Stephen Jay Gould via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2Rv1xwB

Larry Elder – This battle for ‘common-sense…

Image
“This battle for ‘common-sense’ gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason. All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, ‘gun control’ legislation. Good news – if you’re a crook.” -Larry Elder via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2WAnFK6

Naomi Watts – On set is where I…

Image
“On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff, talking about the film, explaining your own life, it doesn’t come naturally. It’s all necessary stuff I suppose but it’s not my strength.” -Naomi Watts via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2WAnyhE

Wole Soyinka – Well, the first thing is…

Image
“Well, the first thing is that truth and power for me form an antithesis, an antagonism, which will hardly ever be resolved. I can define in fact, can simplify the history of human society, the evolution of human society, as a contest between power and freedom.” -Wole Soyinka via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2RsJ4B6

Miguel de Cervantes – There is also this benefit…

Image
“I was in a karaoke video in 1991, for a song called ‘Sukiyaki,’ which is a very famous Japanese song, and I’ve actually heard from people that they’ve been in bars in Asia where they’ve seen me come up in the ‘Sukiyaki’ video that they play behind you. I’m in that. I’m in a karaoke video.” -Michael Weatherly via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2RrcVtH

Patti Stanger – On both ‘The Bachelor’ and…

Image

Ani DiFranco – Maybe you don’t like your…

Image
“Maybe you don’t like your job, maybe you didn’t get enough sleep, well nobody likes their job, nobody got enough sleep. Maybe you just had the worst day of your life, but you know, there’s no escape, there’s no excuse, so just suck up and be nice.” -Ani DiFranco via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2DKSvbu

Emeril Lagasse – Music is one of those…

Image
“Music is one of those things that is constantly going in my head all the time. It’s sort of like the evolution and creation of doing food, or my philosophy about wine. It’s always beating in my head, so it keeps the spirit moving.” -Emeril Lagasse via 77Quotes.com http://bit.ly/2HEaXq9

Jennifer Morrison – I keep my diet simple…

Image

Randy Quaid – I don’t trust Santa Barbara…

Image
“I don’t trust Santa Barbara as far as I can spit.
