Jordan Burroughs
American Athlete
As wrestlers, we're not trying to hurt or damage physically our opponent. All we're trying to do is score points and get our hands raised, so I think that's where we differ from the UFC, but I think that also the way in which we could address each other could be cool from a competitive spirit.
Quote examples
Howard Florey
Australian Scientist
Apart from the scientific interest attached to my various journeyings, it has been made clear to me that human needs and aspirations differ little the world over and that no great difficulties arise in one race dealing with another when matters of scientific importance are involved.
Quote examples
Joseph Brodsky
American Poet
One of the worst things that can happen to an artist is to perceive himself as the owner of his art, and art as his tool. A product of the marketplace sensibility, this attitude barely differs on a psychological plane from the patron's view of the artist as a paid employee.
Quote examples
Kathryn Lasky
American Author

Ingvar Kamprad
Swedish Businessman

Viktor E. Frankl
Austrian Psychologist
For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.

John Chilcot
British Public Servant
The U.K.'s relationship with the U.S. has proved strong enough over time to bear the weight of honest disagreement. It does not require unconditional support where our interests or judgements differ.

John Kenneth Galbraith
American Economist
Money differs from an automobile or mistress in being equally important to those who have it and those who do not.
