I believe that, not only in chess, but in life in general, people place too much stock in ratings â€“ they pay attention to which TV shows have the highest ratings, how many friends they have on Facebook, and itâ€™s funny. The best shows often have low ratings and it is impossible to have thousands of real friends.

Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.
How clear, how lovely bright, How beautiful to sight Those beams of morning play; How heaven laughs out with glee Where, like a bird set free, Up from the eastern sea Soars the delightful day. To-day I shall be strong, No more shall yield to wrong, Shall squander life no more; Days lost, I know not how, I shall retrieve them now; Now I shall keep the vow I never kept before. Ensanguining the skies How heavily it dies Into the west away; Past touch and sight and sound Not further to be found, How hopeless under ground Falls the remorseful day.
Don't frown beautiful, you fascinate me.
Each individual creature on this beautiful planet is created by God to fulfil a particular role. Whatever I have achieved in life is through His help and an expression of His will.

We are all born with a divine fire in us.

Blaire, This teardrop represents many things. The tears I know youâ€™ve shed over holding your motherâ€™s piece of satin. The tears youâ€™ve shed over each loss youâ€™ve experienced. But it also represents the tears weâ€™ve both shed as weâ€™ve felt the little life inside you begin to move. The tears Iâ€™ve shed over the fact Iâ€™ve been given someone like you to love. I never imagined anyone like you Blaire. But every time I think about forever with you Iâ€™m humbled that you chose me. This is your something blue. I love you, Rush
Don't miss out on the love of a good women,son. No matter what that old man of yours tells you,love is real.I'd have never had the success in my life without the women right there.She's been my backbone.She's been my reason for everything I've ever done.One day your drive to make a name for yourself will begin to drift away. It won't be that important anymore.But when you're doing it for someone else, someone you would move heaven and earth for then you never lose the desire to succeed.I can't imagine this world without her in it.I don't ever want to.
