78495. Be your own hero, it’s cheaper than a movie ticket. – Douglas Horton

78497. I’ve watched films and even forgotten I’m in them. – Bob Hoskins

78498. We inherit plots. There are only two or three in the world, five or six at most. We ride them like treadmills. – Janette Turner Hospital

78505. My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business. – Harry Houdini

78506. It is still an open question, however, as to what extent exposure really injures a performer. – Harry Houdini

78507. In all feats of fire-eating it should be noted that the head is thrown well back, so that the flame may pass out of the open mouth instead of up into the roof, as it would if the head were held naturally. – Harry Houdini

78514. Another method of eating burning coals employs small balls of burned cotton in a dish of burning alcohol. – Harry Houdini

78515. I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me when I die and I wish to enjoy it, with my family, while I live. I should prefer living in Germany to any other country, though I am an American, and am loyal to my country. – Harry Houdini

78516. The tournament slipped through my hands. – Eddie House

78532. Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink for fellows whom it hurts to think. – A. E. Housman

78539. I was just then going through a healthy reaction from the orthodoxy of my youth; religion had become for me not so much a possession as an obsession, which I was trying to throw off, and this iconoclastic tale of an imaginary tribe was the result. – Laurence Housman

78540. If I live for another ten years I shall probably have written all that I want to write. – Laurence Housman

78541. If I loved all the world as I do you, I shouldn’t write books to it: I should only write letters to it, and that would be only a clumsy stage on the way to entire telepathy. – Laurence Housman

78542. I still think that if the human race, or even one nation, could only get right about its God the rest would follow. – Laurence Housman

78543. It is the sincerest thing I have written, caught by the drama of a soul struggling in the contrary toils of love and religion – death brought them into harmony. – Laurence Housman

78544. Life is the most versatile thing under the sun; and in the pursuit of life and character the author who works in a groove works in blinkers. – Laurence Housman

78545. My best chance is that, in a happy moment, I hit upon St Francis as the subject for a series of plays. Others might have written them better: but, as I have written them, the advantage will probably remain mine. – Laurence Housman

78546. My brother used to say that I wrote faster than he could read. He wrote two books – of poems – better than all mine put together. – Laurence Housman

78548. I shall not die young, for I am already near seventy: I may die old. – Laurence Housman

78549. I have always been a writer of letters, and of long ones; so, when I first thought of writing a book in the form of letters, I knew that I could do it quickly and easily. – Laurence Housman

78550. I believe absolutely in love being the central motive force of the universe. – Laurence Housman

78551. For the last half of my life I have had the doubtful benefit of a brother whose literary reputation is much greater than my own. – Laurence Housman

78552. But it has also enabled me to find my feet as a lecturer and a reader of my own plays to audiences who like to hear them; and that experience of immediate appreciation gives greater pleasure and more stimulus towards further activity than even the most laudatory of reviews. – Laurence Housman

78553. That was luck: I should not then have been a conscientious objector; but I am quite sure that the abominations of war would have made me one, as soon as I got to the front. – Laurence Housman

78554. Suicide is possible, but not probable; hanging, I trust, is even more unlikely; for I hope that, by the time I die, my countrymen will have become civilised enough to abolish capital punishment. – Laurence Housman

78555. The mere dates of my existence do not interest me, except in one connection. When the Great War started I was too old to be acceptable as a volunteer; when conscription followed I was too old to be conscripted. – Laurence Housman

78556. The modern form of things had begun to appeal to me, also (as material for satire) politics, and the lives of the great and little, high up in the social scale. – Laurence Housman

78557. Prosecution I have managed to avoid; but I have been arrested, charged in a police court, have refused to be bound over, and thereupon have been unconditionally released – to my great regret; for I have always wanted to know what going to prison was like. – Laurence Housman

78558. On that other novels followed: but I still wrote fairy tales and dreamy poems of another world. – Laurence Housman

78559. My failure, during the first five or six years of my art training, to get set in the right direction, and the disappointment which it caused me, drove me the more persistently into writing as an alternative. – Laurence Housman

78560. The man who bears my name, and who claims to be me, was born on July 15, 1865, the sixth in a family of seven. He was an ugly child, and remained ugly till his eighteenth year, when his looks gradually improved. – Laurence Housman

78561. I had never thought of myself as a dramatist, and, for really good technical results, the thought came too late: a man of letters has become too wordy to write economically for the stage. – Laurence Housman

78562. Two more years were to go by before I knew anything about William Blake. Many years later, when his wife died, my godfather gave me the two books as a remembrance. – Laurence Housman

78563. If it had been what was supposed to happen, it would have happened. – Allan Houston

78564. The race problem in the United States is the type of unpleasant problem which we would rather do without but which refuses to be buried. – Charles Hamilton Houston

78566. The hate and scorn showered on us Negro officers by our fellow Americans convinced me that there was no sense in my dying for a world ruled by them. I made up my mind that if I got through this war I would study law and use my time fighting for men who could not strike back. – Charles Hamilton Houston

78567. Christianity has always seemed to fight a losing battle against race. – Charles Hamilton Houston

78569. Barley, where it succeeds, yields a larger weight of feed per acre than any other small grain crop. – David F. Houston

78570. For the Gulf States, perhaps no forage crop of which the available seed supply is relatively abundant exceeds the velvet bean in potential value. This legume possesses also the ability to make a crop when planted relatively late. – David F. Houston

78571. In the southern half of the country perhaps no crop has larger possibilities for quick increase of production of food for both men and animals than the sweet potato. – David F. Houston

78572. It is obvious that the greatest and most important service that is required of our agriculture under existing conditions is an enlarged production of the staple food crops. – David F. Houston

78573. One could drive a prairie schooner through any part of his argument and never scrape against a fact. – David F. Houston

78574. Rice at present prices provides more food for the money than most of the other cereals. – David F. Houston

78575. By the immediate preservation of eggs for home consumption through the use of water glass or lime water, larger supplies of fresh eggs may be made available for marketing later in the season, when production is less and prices higher. – David F. Houston

78576. The ease with which barley may be substituted directly for wheat in human food and its usefulness to replace wheat milling by-products as feed in the production of the milk supply render its abundant production important. – David F. Houston

78577. Buckwheat may be planted later than any similar crop, and often does well on old meadows or waste land that can be broken after the more exacting crops are planted. – David F. Houston

78578. The importance to the nation of a generously adequate food supply for the coming year cannot be overemphasized, in view of the economic problems which may arise as a result of the entrance of the United States into the war. – David F. Houston

78579. The most effective step that may be taken to increase the production of these crops is to enlarge the acreage devoted to them in the regions where they are grown habitually. – David F. Houston

78580. The older, thinner, and less productive grass lands, however, frequently can be made to produce much larger yields of feed in corn than if left, as they are, in unproductive grass. – David F. Houston

78581. The soy-bean, in particular, has proved sufficiently resistant to cold in spring and to adverse weather during summer to warrant heavy planting, especially throughout the South. – David F. Houston

78582. The usefulness of cow-peas and soy-beans as human food has been recognized only recently in this country. – David F. Houston

78583. The value of the beans for oil production, as well as for human food, has become recognized so quickly and so generally during the past year that the crop has acquired a commercial standing far in excess of its previous status. – David F. Houston

78584. What this loss means will be appreciated from the statement that one bushel of wheat contains sufficient energy to support the average working man for 15 days. – David F. Houston

78585. The duty of the individual farmer, at this time, is to increase his production, particularly of food crops. – David F. Houston

78586. Corn is the leading food and feed crop of the United States in geographic range of production, acreage, and quantity of product. The vital importance of a large acreage of this crop, properly cared for, therefore, is obvious. – David F. Houston

78587. Words are the basic tools, if you are a writer. But why? Why do you choose one set of tools rather than another? – James D. Houston

78588. Sometimes you don’t choose the material; the material chooses you. – James D. Houston

78589. We were so fundamental that almost everything had been stripped away from the place of worship. Think of the role words can play, when all other enticements and sensual attractions are gone. – James D. Houston

78590. Words are the basic tools, if you are a writer. – James Houston

78591. It’s hard now to imagine that kind of travel and the daily tasks they simply took for granted. If a wagon axle broke, you had to stop and carve a new one. To cross a river, you sometimes had to build a raft. – James Houston

78592. We all have the extraordinary coded within us, waiting to be released. – Jean Houston

78593. Our senses are indeed our doors and windows on this world, in a very real sense the key to the unlocking of meaning and the wellspring of creativity. – Jean Houston

78595. At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities. – Jean Houston

78596. When your dreams tire, they go underground and out of kindness that’s where they stay. – Libby Houston

78597. The base emotions Plato banned have left a radio-active and not radiant land. – Libby Houston

78598. Texas will again lift it’s head and stand among the nations. It ought to do so, for no country upon the globe can compare with it in natural advantages. – Sam Houston

78599. Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may. – Sam Houston

78600. Remember that whatever may be said by a lady or her friends, it is not part of conduct of a gallant or generous man to take up arms against a woman. – Sam Houston

78601. I would not be gotten into a schoolhouse until I was eight years old. Nor did I accomplish much after I started. I doubt if I had gone to school six months in all when my father died. I was fourteen at the time. – Sam Houston

78602. The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government. – Sam Houston

78603. Whether his policy was right or wrong, he built up the glory of the nation. – Sam Houston

78604. Texas, to be respected must be polite. Santa Anna living, can be of incalculable benefit to Texas; Santa Anna dead, would just be another dead Mexican. – Sam Houston

78605. I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man. – Sam Houston

78606. All new states are invested, more or less, by a class of noisy, second-rate men who are always in favor of rash and extreme measures, but Texas was absolutely overrun by such men. – Sam Houston

78608. A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people or improve the system they live under. – Sam Houston

78609. In the name of the constitution of Texas, which has been trampled upon, I refuse to take this oath. I love Texas too well to bring civil strife and bloodshed upon her. – Sam Houston

78610. My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don’t fight it. – Whitney Houston

78611. No, I’m not a drug addict, and neither is my husband. If that were so, you’d get a lot less work out of me. It would show in the performances and in the work. – Whitney Houston

78612. Nobody likes to be picked on. Nobody. – Whitney Houston

78613. When I decided to be a singer, my mother warned me I’d be alone a lot. Basically we all are. Loneliness comes with life. – Whitney Houston

78614. God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there? – Whitney Houston

78615. When I heard Aretha, I could feel her emotional delivery so clearly. It came from down deep within. That’s what I wanted to do. – Whitney Houston

78616. I’m not crazy about arenas just because I can sell them out. It doesn’t do anything for my ego at all. I want to play places where people don’t have to sit in the nosebleed seats and wonder what the hell is going on. – Whitney Houston

78617. I like being a woman, even in a man’s world. After all, men can’t wear dresses, but we can wear the pants. – Whitney Houston

78618. I finally faced the fact that it isn’t a crime not having friends. Being alone means you have fewer problems. – Whitney Houston

78619. I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe. – Whitney Houston

78620. I almost wish I could be more exciting, that I could match what is happening out there to me. – Whitney Houston

78621. I’ve turned down a lot of arena dates because I’ve done the big-arena thing. Now, I want to do something where people can feel me and I can feel them. – Whitney Houston

78622. From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it. – Whitney Houston

78623. I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. – Whitney Houston

78624. And you prate of the wealth of nations, as if it were bought and sold, The wealth of nations is men, not silk and cotton and gold. – Richard Hovey

78626. This is not to say that the Scots are not fine people, but they were all sort of… well, my grandfather was a minister and sort of Protestant, and this was rather depressing to me. – Alan Hovhaness

78627. There were periods when I sometimes made fires in a large, open fireplace that lasted about two weeks, which was how long it took to burn my compositions. So there has been an awful lot that I have destroyed. – Alan Hovhaness

78628. There is nothing like practice. – Alan Hovhaness

78629. No, no, I didn’t know him. He lost his mind around 1917 because of the tragedy of the Armenians. – Alan Hovhaness

78631. I’ve always regarded nature as the clothing of God. – Alan Hovhaness

78638. I had to be sure we were doing something tasteful. – Larry Hovis

78639. I was probably never going to get to do the kind of things dramatically that I really wanted to do, so I returned to theater from time to time, and to write, and produce. It’s by no means sour grapes. – Larry Hovis

78641. I didn’t equate a POW camp with a concentration camp. – Larry Hovis

78643. It was such a paradox for me that the only thing I know how to do is act, but that the first thing I abandoned while writing were the characters. – Bryce Dallas Howard

78644. I feel like I almost didn’t grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn’t aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago. – Bryce Dallas Howard

78645. I’ve always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people. – Bryce Dallas Howard

78646. Well being as there’s no other place around the place, I reckon this must be the place, I reckon. – Curly Howard

78657. Parents, however old they and we may grow to be, serve among other things to shield us from a sense of our doom. As long as they are around, we can avoid the fact of our mortality; we can still be innocent children. – Jane Howard

78658. New links must be forged as old ones rust. – Jane Howard

78659. A lot of people would rather tour sewers than visit their cousins. – Jane Howard

78660. Anthropology was the science that gave her the platform from which she surveyed, scolded and beamed at the world. – Jane Howard

78661. I hate guns. – John Howard

78663. Terrorists oppose nations such as the United States and Australia not because of what we have done but because of who we are and because of the values that we hold in common. – John Howard
