"I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience." ― Patrick Henry Topic(s): Experience More From Patrick Henry "We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power… the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave." "I know not what others may choose but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death." "I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian religion." More In Experience "I believe, in a funny way, the job of the novelist is to be out there on the fringes and speaking for an experience that has not really been spoken for."― Donna Tartt "With ‘Good Will Hunting,’ Miramax made certain the recruited audience wasn’t expecting to laugh at Robin Williams like they normally do. From my limited experience, you can really blow test screenings by conducting them in the wrong way."― Gus Van Sant "If you’ve got a piece and you can feel the person who’s going to direct it is really made for it, if it’s really special for them, then it’s going to be a better-than-usual experience."― Edward Norton
