"Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did." ― Newt Gingrich Topic(s): Imagination More From Newt Gingrich "We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility." "I think every religious person should have a deep sense of respect for other people’s religious documents and religious symbols just as we were deeply opposed to the Taliban destroying the two historic buddhas which they blew up. So I think we ought to all oppose burning the Koran." "I’m not a natural leader. I’m too intellectual; I’m too abstract; I think too much." More In Imagination "He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart."― Washington Irving "Love doesn’t grow on trees like apples in Eden – it’s something you have to make. And you must use your imagination too."― Joyce Cary "On ‘Into The Wild’ I spent months risking my life and on ‘Speed Racer’ I spent 60 days acting in front of a green screen. No danger to my physical self, but I sure had to use my imagination."― Emile Hirsch
