In our work and in our living we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth rather than a reason for destruction.

The difference between people who believe they have books inside of them and those who actually write books is sheer cussed persistence - the ability to make yourself work at your craft every day - the belief even in the face of obstacles that you've got something worth saying.

It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius especially ambitious young men and women.

I wouldn't call myself a feminist because I think there are differences between men and women.

Many differences are rooted in biology and reinforced through culture so it's important to acknowledge that. Because if you say men and women are the same and if male behaviour is the norm and women are always expected to act like men we will never be as good at being men as men are.

The main difference between men and women is that men are lunatics and women are idiots.

The current wisdom now is that if the three networks are covering the news the same way the difference is the anchor people. I think that won't be true in the future.

I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.

The difference between chirping out of turn and a faux pas depends on what kind of a bar you're in.

Officials at the White House are saying that President Bush hasn't changed his schedule much since the war started. The main difference they say is that he's started watching the news and taping Sponge Bob.

In war you win or lose live or die - and the difference is just an eyelash.

There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more of less for progress the other side more or less for reaction.

More than an end to war we want an end to the beginning of all wars - yes an end to this brutal inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.

There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.

In matters of truth and justice there is no difference between large and small problems for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.

Gentlemen I fervently trust that before long the principle of arbitration may win such confidence as to justify its extension to a wider field of international differences.

I have wandered all my life and I have also traveled the difference between the two being this that we wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.

Traveling you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities places exchange their form order distances a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.

You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.

Young poets bewail the passing of love old poets the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to begin a political career running time and time again. I made a difference. I put in place the things I wanted to do.

The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.

I think there is a difference between Slate and Salon. I think we both serve important functions on the Internet. As more and more Websites disappear I'm thankful Slate is still around because it makes things less lonely.
