| Quote:When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:You find out more about God from the Moral Law than from the univerise in general just as you find out more about a man by listening to his conversation than by looking at a house he has built.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:All the people throughout my life who were naysayers pissed me off. But they've all given me a fervor; an angry ambition that cannot be stopped - and I look forward to finding a therapist and working on that.[Tobey Maguire] Quote:Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Religion is fundamentally opposed to everything I hold in veneration - courage, clear thinking, honesty, fairness, and, above all, love of the truth.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Toleration is the best religion.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.[Mother Teresa] Quote:Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.[Jesse Jackson] Quote:A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. We and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. But if there is no Law of Nature, the ethos of any society is the creation of its rulers, educators and conditioners; and every creator stands above and outside his own creation.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:Exaggeration follows desperation.[Chris Bowyer] Quote:The reformer is always right about what is wrong. He is generally wrong about what is right.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity. It is shorter to state the things forbidden than the things permitted: precisely because most things are permitted, and only a few things are forbidden.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'[Isaac Asimov] Quote:Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.[Dave Barry] Quote:Males have a lot of trouble not looking at breasts. What is worse, males cannot look at breasts and think at the same time. In fact, scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid. This was proved in a famous 1978 laboratory experiment wherein a team of leading male psychological researchers at Yale deliberately looked at photographs of breasts every day for two years, at the end of which they concluded that they had failed to take any notes.[Dave Barry] Quote:My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already.[Dave Barry] Quote:We'll try to cooperate fully with the IRS, because, as citizens, we feel a strong patriotic duty not to go to jail.[Dave Barry] Quote:'It will obliterate your senses!' reports David Gillin, who obviously writes autobiographically.[Roger Ebert] Quote:A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.[Robert Frost] Quote:I figured out why I'm not getting seriously rich. I write newspaper columns. Nobody ever makes newspaper columns into Major Motion Pictures starring Tom Cruise. The best you can hope for, with a newspaper column, is that people will like it enough to attach it to their refrigerators with magnets shaped like fruit.[Dave Barry] Quote:Drug testing is very big in football. This is because football players are Role Models for young people. All you young people out there want to grow up and have enormous necks and get knee operations as often as haircuts. That's why the people in charge of football don't want you to associate it with drugs. They want you to associate it with alcohol.[Dave Barry] Quote:I realise that I'm making gender-based generalizations here, but my feeling is that if God did not want us to make gender-based generalizations, She would not have given us genders.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is never okay to throw away veteran underwear. A real guy checks the garbage regularly in case somebody - and we are not naming names but this would be his wife - is quietly trying to discard his underwear, which she is frankly jealous of, because the guy seems to have a more intimate relationship with it than with her.[Dave Barry] Quote:It is a well-documented fact that guys will not ask for directions. This is a biological thing. This is why it takes several million guy sperm cells, each one wriggling in its own direction, totally confident it knows where it is going, to locate a female egg, despite the fact that the egg is, relative to them, the size of Wisconsin.[Dave Barry] Quote:Tokyo is huge. Something like 15 million people live there, and my estimate is that at any given moment, 14.7 million of them are lost. This is because the Tokyo street system holds the world outdoor record for randomness. A map of Tokyo looks like a tub of hyperactive bait. There is virtually no street that goes directly from anywhere to anywhere.[Dave Barry] Quote:In some versions of my original contest column I had proposed, in a lighthearted manner, that we reduce the deficit by 'selling unnecessary states such as Oklahoma to the Japanese.' This caused a number of Oklahomans to send in letters containing many correctly spelled words and making the central lighthearted point that I am a jerk. They also sent me official literature stating that Oklahoma has enormous quantities of culture in the form of ballet, Oral Roberts, etc., and that the Official State Reptile -- I am not making this up -- is something called the 'Mountain Boomer.' So I apologize to Oklahoma, and as a token of my sincerity I'm willing to sell my state, Florida, to the Japanese, assuming nobody objects to the fact that Japan would suddenly become the most heavily armed nation on Earth.[Dave Barry] Quote:Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness, or oppose with firmness.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at al, but our hate is turning our days and nights into a hellish turmoil.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.[Edmund Burke] Quote:It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.[Edmund Burke] Quote:Toleration is good for all, or it is good for none.[Edmund Burke] Quote:We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.[Aristotle] Quote:Of all the varieties of virtues, liberalism is the most beloved.[Aristotle] Quote:Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.[Mark Twain] Quote:I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and Fries.[Stephen King] Quote:Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.[Bill Cosby] Quote:A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.[Thomas Paine] Quote:It is both foolish and wicked to teach the average man who is not well off that some wrong or injustice has been done him, and that he should hope for redress elsewhere than in his own industry, honesty, and intelligence.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.[George Washington] Quote:You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours.[Yogi Berra] Quote:I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.[George Carlin] Quote:Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.[Thomas Edison] Quote:If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.[Thomas Edison] Quote:I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any form that would require me to stop talking for three hours.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:I don't generally feel anything until noon, then it's time for my nap.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Religion operates not only on the vertical plane but also on the horizontal. It seeks not only to integrate men with God but to integrate men with men and each man with himself.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.[Ed Gardner] Quote:Success didn't spoil me, I've always been insufferable.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in the oposite direction.[George Carlin] Quote:The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Always leave something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'[GK Chesterton] Quote:Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:But what is the difference between literature and journalism? Journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. That is all.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.[Albert Einstein] Quote:The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.[W. Somerset Maugham] Quote:Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:Those who believe they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.[Oscar Levant] Quote:There is a remarkable breakdown of taste and intelligence at Christmas time. Mature, responsible grown men wear neckties made of holly leaves and drink alcoholic beverages with raw egg yolks and cottage cheese in them.[P.J. O'Rourke] Quote:Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.[Adam Smith] Quote:Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.[Adam Smith] Quote:Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Never exaggerate your faults. Your friends will attend to that.[Francis Bacon] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.[Vince Lombardi] Quote:Saturate yourself with your subject and the camera will all but take you by the hand.[Margaret Bourke-White] Quote:The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves and one another for the general good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.[H.G. Wells] Quote:The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.[George Washington] Quote:Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.[Joseph Addison] Quote:Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.[Jack Handey] Quote:Unless the religious claims of the Bible are again acknowledged, its literary claims will, I think, be given only 'mouth honour' and that decreasingly.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:Nothing so dates a man as to decry the younger generation.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:?Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:The only way to maintain a moderate sum of happiness in this life, is not to worry about the future or regret the past too much.[Mel Gibson] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:If these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of 'religion.'[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us.[Rush Limbaugh] Quote:Most football teams are temperamental. That's 90% temper and 10% mental.[Doug Plank] Quote:An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations. [Charles de Montesquieu] Quote:To say the least, a town life makes one more tolerant and liberal in one's judgement of others. [Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:First weigh the considerations, then take the risks. [Herodotus] Quote:We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. [Jack London] Quote:When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable. [Madeleine L'Engle] Quote:Liberals are very broadminded: they are always willing to give careful consideration to both sides of the same side. [Anonymous] Quote:Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari. It's the only one though that we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very few of you remember your arrival and even fewer of you will attend your own funeral. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:What are man and woman if not members of two very different and warring tribes? Yet decade after decade, century after century, they attempt in marriage to reconcile and forge a union. Why? I don't know. Biological imperative? Divine law? Or just a desire to connect to that mysterious other? In any case, it's always struck me as a hopeful thing. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. [Thomas A. Edison] Quote:Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. [George S. Patton] Quote:The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel. [James Thurber] Quote:Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society... [Herbert Hoover] Quote:An economist is a surgeon with an excellent scalpel and a rough-edged lancet, who operates beautifully on the dead and tortures the living. [Nicholas Chamfort] Quote:It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea. [Robert Anton Wilson] Quote:He plants trees to benefit another generation. [Caecilius Statius] Quote:It's funny, to me, the way people refer to childbirth as a miraculous event. A miracle is something that defies nature. Only, childbirth has got to be the most natural thing in the world. Top three anyway. But, on the other hand, when you think about it, there's really no other word that fits. Sperm. Egg. A coincidental meshing of genetic information that will grow something that could write an opera or cook up some Napalm. It blows my mind. [Barbara Hall] Quote:You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act. [Barbara Hall] Quote:The world tolerates conceit from those who are successful, but not from anybody else. [Joseph Addison] Quote:The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood. [John Burroughs] Quote:The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood. [John Burroughs] Quote:Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little. [Plutarch] Quote:Be entirely tolerant or not at all; follow the good path or the evil one. To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess. [Heinrich Heine] Quote:Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population. [Albert Einstein] Quote:The highest result of education is tolerance. [Helen Keller] Quote:I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure. [Lawana Blackwell] Quote:Truth is generally the best vindication against slander. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next. [Ursula K. LeGuin] Quote:Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way...you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions. [Aristotle] Quote:What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers. [Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new. [Henry David Thoreau] Quote:The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority. [Ralph W. Sockman] Quote:The test of courage comes when we are in the minority; the test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority. [Ralph W. Sockman] Quote:There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting. [David Letterman] Quote:A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel. [Robert Frost] Quote:Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine. [Fran Lebowitz] Quote:Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative. [H. G. Wells] Quote:"My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying, "My mother, drunk or sober." [G. K. Chesterton] Quote:Once lead this people into war and they will forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance. [Woodrow Wilson] Quote:The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever. [Anatole France] Quote:The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind. [William James] Quote:I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true. [Carl Sagan] Quote:I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers. [Kahlil Gibran] Quote:There's something intrinsically therapeutic about choosing to spend your time in a wide, open park- like setting that non-golfers can never truly understand. [Charles Rosin] Quote:The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues. [Elizabeth Taylor] Quote:The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time. [Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets. [Dave Edison] Quote:Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours. [Yogi Berra] Quote:Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? [John Mendosa] Quote:I can speak Esperanto like a native. [Spike Milligan] Quote:Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian. [H.L. Mencken] Quote:People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what's wrong with it. [Noel Coward] Quote:Parsifal is the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock. After it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6.20. [David Randolph] Quote:They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days. [Garrison Kielor] Quote:There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably diserable. [Mark Twain] Quote:I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically. [Steven Wright] Quote:I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets. [Dave Edison] Quote:Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? [John Mendosa] Quote:They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days. [Garrison Keilor] Quote:An incinerator is a writer's best friend. [Thornton Wilder] Quote:The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. [Cicero] Quote:No liberal man would impute a charge of unsteadiness to another for having changed his opinion.
