the best ending
for one.

- Neil deGrasse Tyson
Over the years I've learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.

So let's not use a stylus. We're going to use the best pointing device in the world. We're going to use a pointing device that we're all born with - born with ten of them. We're going to use our fingers. We're going to touch this with our fingers. And we have invented a new technology called multi-touch, which is phenomenal. It works like magic.

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness.

- Lou Reed
Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms - and we can keep them there.
- Scott Walker
Acting, and the privilege of being able to do it for a living, is so important to me. I don't turn up and just hope for the best. I really fret about it. I do my homework; I prepare myself for the experience of playing a particular character.

We have to be plumbers, electricians, construction engineers, or workers, on the space station, but at the same time running a laboratory, being scientists, being the best laboratory assistants we can be. It's all in a bundle; it's very exciting, it's a lot of fun.
- Thomas Marshburn

The whole of government needs to contribute to the shared goal of restructuring the British economy. But that means taking on the myth that the Treasury either knows best or can run it all. It just doesn't.
- David Miliband
Davy Jones was the grooviest of the Monkees, which makes him one of the grooviest pop stars who ever existed. He was the best dancer in the Monkees, the Cute One, the one with the coy English accent, the bowl-cut boy-child who shook those cherry-red maracas and always got the girl. He was also the guy who stole David Bowie's original name.
- Rob Sheffield

It's almost embarrassing how much support I have. I mean, I always tell people I feel like I'm perfectly set up to have cancer. I have great health insurance, I have a savings account. I have work lined up. I have friends and family. I have the best doctors I can get.
- Tig Notaro

I feel that when I began writing, I had a
need to know more about the play before I got into it. I think that's the way I
was thinking. But my actual experience is that the best way
to find out what the structure is, is by writing the play out laterally. You
just have got to be brave enough to start without knowing where you are going.
- Tom Stoppard
The best teamwork
comes from men who are working independently toward
one goal in unison.
- James Cash Penney
I do believe that the original sources of all
religions should be taught, because with that we will find our similarities,
not just our differences. I believe that if Mohammed, Buddha, Jesus, and Moses
all got together they would be best of
friends because the spiritual basis of all religions is something that builds
unity.
- Yehuda Berg
Only a minority of science fiction dystopias

at organizing ourselves into social units.
