That new language is the language of atomic warfare.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'[Dave Barry] Quote:The function of RAM is to give us guys a way of deciding whose computer has the biggest, studliest, most tumescent MEMORY. This is important, because with today's complex software, the more memory a computer has, the faster it can produce error messages. So the bottom line is, if you're a guy, you cannot have enough RAM.[Dave Barry] Quote:Someone doing it often interrupts the person saying it cannot be done.[Author Unknown] Quote:There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it.

This was terrible with raisins in it.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.[Stephen King] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:Never interrupt me when I'm trying to interrupt you.[Winston Churchill] 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:If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:The uniform, constant and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition, the principle from which public and national, as well as private opulence is originally derived, is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration. Like the unknown principle of animal life, it frequently restores health and vigour to the constitution, in spite, not only of the disease, but of the absurd prescriptions of the doctor.[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:A poor but humble man who gives nothing to charity is preferrable to a rich but haughty man who does.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.[Helen Keller] Quote:A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.[Martin Luther King Jr.] 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:The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.[Franklin D. Roosevelt] Quote:Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear ? kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor ? with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:You know what the fellow said: In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love--they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.[Orson Welles] Quote:It must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble acknowledged dependence upon God and His overruling providence.[John Adams] Quote:Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.[Anais Nin] 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:The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, givne style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things. [Russell Baker] Quote:Weird, isn't it? Somehow in the dead of winter when its 40 below, so cold your words just freeze in the air, you think you'll never hear a robin's song again or see a blossom on a cherry tree, when one day you wake up and bingo, light coming through the mini blinds is softened with a tick of rose and the cold morning air has lost its bite. It's spring once again, the streets are paved with mud and the hills are alive with the sound of mosquitos. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse. [Craig Volk] Quote:The world is full of women blindsided by the unceasing demands of motherhood, still flabbergasted by how a job can be terrific and torturous. [Anna Quindlen] Quote:Television is the first truly democratic culture - the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want. [David Frost] Quote:An expert is a person who avoids small error as he sweeps on to the grand fallacy. [Niels Bohr] Quote:The basis of optimism is sheer terror. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:Every improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible. [Judith Martin] Quote:It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. [Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error. [John Kenneth Galbraith] Quote:Americans are overreachers; overreaching is the most admirable of the many American excesses. [George F. Will] Quote:There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:I inherited a painting and a violin which turned out to be a Rembrandt and a Stradivarius. Unfortunately, Rembrandt made lousy violins and Stradivarius was a terrible painter. [Tommy Cooper] Quote:Jerry Lewis has been married twenty times.
