I love my family.
Manute Bol

I’ve gone to war zones before and never got shot.
Manute Bol

If God wants to take my left arm, that’s OK, as long as I can walk and play with my kids. I’m a lot improved. I was worse than this after the accident.
Manute Bol

I’d like to do things to make money to save myself but right now I can’t do nothing. If they want to put me in jail, they can do that. It’s kind of tough.
Manute Bol

There’s a lot of bad things going on but I didn’t do nothing.

Elizabeth Blackwell

It is not easy to be a pioneer – but oh, it is fascinating! I would not trade one moment, even the worst moment, for all the riches in the world.
Elizabeth Blackwell

Our school education ignores, in a thousand ways, the rules of healthy development.
Elizabeth Blackwell

The idea of winning a doctor’s degree gradually assumed the aspect of a great moral struggle, and the moral fight possessed immense attraction for me.
Elizabeth Blackwell

If society will not admit of woman’s free development, then society must be remodeled.
Elizabeth Blackwell

A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman physician that forms a situation of singular and painful loneliness, leaving her without support, respect or professional counsel.
Elizabeth Blackwell

I must have something to engross my thoughts, some object in life which will fill this vacuum, and prevent this sad wearing away of the heart.
Elizabeth Blackwell

Alan Bleasdale

There is not in nature, a thing that makes man so deformed, so beastly, as doth intemperate anger.
Alan Bleasdale

To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.
Alan Bleasdale

If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
Alan Bleasdale

There is a woman at the beginning of all great things.

Peter Bichsel

It is strange, how quickly people want to obligate their poets, as it were, on the exile.
Peter Bichsel

Literature is about as unnecessarily necessarily as tableware or ironed shirts.
Peter Bichsel

Only that Swiss in the heart want still a king or at least a strong Upper House of Parliament. Swiss long themselves for less democracy and more dictatorship.
Peter Bichsel

I was convinced that the world was in the departure and paging.
Peter Bichsel

The problems of our country are very fast to recognize.
Peter Bichsel

Why does one always ask a writer why they stopped? I am sure everyone finds in any drawer a few dear poems.
Peter Bichsel

That is a secondary teacher conception – the writer as an observer.
Peter Bichsel

I wanted to write a novel. At 12 I knew, I am a writer. I said it to nobody.
Peter Bichsel

Writers let themselves be enticed by the language.

Mary McLeod Bethune

Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Without it, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.
Mary McLeod Bethune

I never stop to plan. I take things step by step.
Mary McLeod Bethune

The whole world opened to me when I learned to read.
Mary McLeod Bethune

We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.
Mary McLeod Bethune

The true worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood.

The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest while there is a single Negro boy or girl without a chance to prove his worth.
Mary McLeod Bethune

Whatever glory belongs to the race for a development unprecedented in history for the given length of time, a full share belongs to the womanhood of the race.
Mary McLeod Bethune

Henry Beston

Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it, for, with the banishment of night from the experience of man, there vanishes as well a religious emotion, a poetic mood, which gives depth to the adventure of humanity.
Henry Beston

The seas are the heart’s blood of the earth.
Henry Beston

Do no dishonour to the earth least you dishonour the spirit of man.
Henry Beston

The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.
Henry Beston

Hans Berger

The electroencephalogram represents a continuous curve with continuous oscillations in which… one can distinguish larger first order waves with an average duration of 90 milliseconds and smaller second order waves of an average duration of 35 milliseconds.
Hans Berger

We see in the electroencephalogram a concomitant phenomenon of the continuous nerve processes which take place in the brain, exactly as the electrocardiogram represents a concomitant phenomenon of the contractions of the individual segments of the heart.
Hans Berger

In Germany I am not so famous.
Hans Berger

Glenn Beck

No one is guaranteed happiness. You can pursue it, but if you happen to find success along the way on that road to happiness, Conservatives believe you should not be demonized or penalized for it.
Glenn Beck

Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution, and it was designed to eat the Constitution, to progress past the Constitution.
Glenn Beck

Remember, beneath every cynic there lies a romantic, and probably an injured one.
Glenn Beck

The majority does not rule in America, but the minority shouldn’t hijack it. And it’s because we’re afraid. They have isolated us and made us feel as though we’re alone. We’re not.
Glenn Beck

And I’ve come to the place where I believe that there’s no way to solve these problems, these issues – there’s nothing that we can do that will solve the problems that we have and keep the peace, unless we solve it through God, unless we solve it in being our highest self. And that’s a pretty tall order.
Glenn Beck

It’s not just spending, it’s not just taxes, it’s not just corruption, it is progressivism, and it is in both parties. It is in the Republicans and the Democrats.
Glenn Beck

Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice – that is the essence. And if it’s not the essence, then we’ve been sold a pack of lies. The essence is everyone deserves a shot – the content of character, not the color of skin.
Glenn Beck

Every time the government grows we lose more of who we are.
Glenn Beck

Good for you, you have a heart, you can be a liberal. Now, couple your heart with your brain, and you can be a conservative.
Glenn Beck

‘Hello my name is the Republican Party and I got a problem. I’m addicted to spending and big government.’ I’d like one of them just to stand up and say that.
Glenn Beck

I am a conservative, but I am not a zombie.
Glenn Beck

The message that I gave on the – on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don’t believe that you can’t do it. Everybody wants – everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that, it becomes politics. I’m not talking politics.
Glenn Beck

When did it something of shame or ridicule to be a self-made man in America?
Glenn Beck

You know, we all have our inner demons. I, for one – I can’t speak for you, but I’m on the verge of moral collapse at any time. It can happen by the end of the show.
Glenn Beck

Not a single time have we gotten a right from Congress or from the President. We get them from God.
Glenn Beck

Political Correctness doesn’t change us, it shuts us up.
Glenn Beck

Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There’s no understanding of it.
Glenn Beck

You can get rich making fun of me. I know. I’ve made lots of money making fun of me.
Glenn Beck

Americans also don’t need to be taught how to give. We don’t need to be taught how to take care of each other or how to be charitable.
Glenn Beck

It’s a real blessing for me to tell you, sir, that calvary has arrived – Fox is here!
Glenn Beck

Let me tell you, it is still morning in America. It just happens to be kind of a head pounding, hung over for four hours in America – and it’s shaping up to be a nasty day, but its still morning in America.
Glenn Beck

Franz Beckenbauer

It would make me a lot happier if I could meet up again next year with as many friends as possible from all over the world who I’ve met during my career. That’s where the great opportunity lies, for me personally, in our role as World Cup host.
Franz Beckenbauer

Since Sven Goran Eriksson took over, England have been fantastic.
Franz Beckenbauer

The most important thing however is the money. What use would it be to us, to have a a mighty stadium but a useless team, because we couldn’t afford anything better?
Franz Beckenbauer

At least six Bayern players, who have won almost everything, are in the national squad.
Franz Beckenbauer

Back then, a half-a-century ago, the situation was totally different. Economically, we were practically on our knees, and politically, we were still excluded from the community of nations. Today, in this respect, we have a totally different and much more stable basis.
Franz Beckenbauer

Certainly it is a different world for players nowadays. But it depends on the individual.
Franz Beckenbauer

For example, Michael Jordan earns $100million a year but continues to play basketball and remains a modest human being.
Franz Beckenbauer

The Olympic stadium may have been built only in the early 1970s but it was clear for a long time it had no future. For many reasons it is not good enough for modern football and today’s fans.
Franz Beckenbauer

We should not fool ourselves. We are not one of the world’s top teams any more.
Franz Beckenbauer

The World Cup tournament overall and, naturally, the new stadiums at its heart, are the ideal platform to portray Germany as a positive and exceptional location, and above all of course, as a highly capable economic location.
Franz Beckenbauer

We are the last remaining country to allow ourselves two breaks in the season. You just have to look at England, Italy and Spain, they play right through the season. We on the other hand take six weeks off in the winter until the end of January, and that is a luxury.
Franz Beckenbauer

At any rate, I can only see such a success having positive effects for everyone, particularly as our anticipation of the World cup would only increase further.
Franz Beckenbauer

“What’s the use of worrying?
It never was worth while,
So pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
George Asaf

“The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.”
Richard Bach.

“Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.”
Mildred Barthel.

“Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor…”
Henry Ward Beecher

If my heart can become pure and simple, like that of a child, I think there probably can be no greater happiness than this.
Kitaro Nishida

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
Oscar Wilde
