I think, most of us, when we look back over our lives, see perhaps moments when everything was dangerous and precarious. We’re making all these mistakes, and yet somehow we make it through.

The true test of a leader is whether his followers will adhere to his cause from their own volition, enduring the most arduous hardships without being forced to do so, and remaining steadfast in the moments of greatest peril. – Xenophon

My friends say I make them laugh a lot, so I think that somewhere in me is a little comedic ability that comes out in the most inappropriate or unexpected moments. I did a lot of sketch comedy years ago. That’s always in me. – Selenis Leyva
There was a time in L.A. when I drove to 7-Eleven to go grocery shopping, and I locked my keys in my car, which wasn’t insured.

If I go anywhere where there are people who vaguely look like me, there is always that feeling of, ‘Actually I do look quite similar to everyone else.’ At moments like that, I become very, very British. My accent gets more clipped, and I stride around as if I’ve got an empire. – Sanjeev Bhaskar

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. – Thornton Wilder
