| Quote:An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:I recently had my annual physical examination, which I get once every seven years, and when the nurse weighed me, I was shocked to discover how much stronger the Earth's gravitational pull has become since 1990.[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:Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:So convienent a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:It is largely because the free-thinkers, as a school, have hardly made up their minds whether they want to be more optimist or more pessimist than Christianity that their small but sincere movement has failed. For the duel is deadly; and any agnostic who wishes to be anything more than a Nihilist must sympathize with one version of nature or the other.[GK Chesterton] Quote:True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The secret of acting is sincerity. If you can fake that, you've got it made.[George Burns] Quote:I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I believe in person to person. Every person is Christ for me, and since there is only one Jesus, that person is the one person in the world at that moment.[Mother Teresa] Quote:I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expense, and my expense is equal to my wishes.[Kahlil Gibran] Quote:To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:I think a good gift for the president would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him and hand it to him.[Jack Handey] Quote:All malice has injustice at it's end, an end achieved by violence or by fraud; while both are sins that earn the hate of heaven, since fraud belongs exclusively to man, God hates it more and, therefore, far below, the fraudulent are placed and suffer most.[Dante Alighieri] Quote:To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood. [George W. Bush] Quote:You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart. [Fred Allen] Quote:I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. [Herbert Hoover] Quote:It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Judge thyself with the judgment of sincerity, and thou will judge others with the judgment of charity. [Jules Renard] Quote:A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles. [Confucius] Quote:My pessimism extends to the point of even suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists. [Jean Rostand] Quote:After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood. [Oscar Levant] Quote:The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made. [Jean Giraudoux] Quote:The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.
