I said, 'Clearly, I failed as a parent.'[Larry Ellison] 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:Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.[Christopher Morley] Quote:A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.[Robert Frost] Quote:A poet never takes notes.

Lewis] 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:It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.[Plato] Quote:In every power, of which taste is the foundation, excellence is pretty fairly divided between the sexes.
