"Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."
                                                                          – Benjamin Disraeli

About Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) was a novelist, dandy, and ultimately a politician — he served twice as prime minister of England, the first (and thus far only) Jewish man to hold that office. He introduced a number of domestic reforms, including the Factory Act, the Public Heath Act, and the Education Act, but is best remembered for his imperialist foreign policies. During his second ministry Britain annexed the Fiji Islands and the Transvaal, purchased a controlling share of the Suez Canal, and declared Queen Victoria the empress of India.

As for worrying about what other people might think - I just forget it. They aren't
concerned about me. They're too busy worrying about what other people
and I think of them.

"Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever."
                                                                                                   – Margaret Cho

About Margaret Cho

Margaret Cho, the outspoken Korean-American comedian and actor, made television history as the first Asian-American with her own TV series, All American Girl. She was born in 1968 in San Francisco and has mined her life for extremely successful one-woman shows, including I'm the One That I Want and Notorious C.H.O., both of which spawned albums, movie versions, and books. When not touring with her comedy, Cho works now in Hollywood as both an actress and a director.
