Quotes:
People confuse 'fair use' with 'personal use.' They are not the same. Fair use is a set of guidelines used by judges in a courtroom. Personal use is your activity on your computers at home.
View quotes by Ted Cohen
'It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined, manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor... No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.'

View quotes by Bud Wilkinson
The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself.
View quotes by Galbraith
A country can truly call itself sporting when the majority of its people feel a personal need for sport.
View quotes by Baron Pierre De Coubertin
Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.

View quotes by Pope John Paul II
Truth, naked, unblushing truth, the first virtue of all serious history, must be the sole recommendation of this personal narrative.
View quotes by Edward Gibbon
Democracy is the most vile form of government... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
View quotes by James Madison
People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to 'look forward to' - to work for and hope for.
View quotes by Maxwell Maltz

View quotes by Dwight Moody
The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.
View quotes by Anais Nin
In our country, true teams rarely exist . . . social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit . . . Yet these rugby players. with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and men who play on that rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever be. The foolish emptiness we think we perceive in their existence is only our own
