| Quote:Do not needlessly endanger your lives until I give you the signal.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:To be thrown upon one's own resources, is to be cast into the very lap of fortune; for our faculties then undergo a development and display an energy of which they were previously unsusceptible.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.[GK Chesterton] Quote:'It will obliterate your senses!' reports David Gillin, who obviously writes autobiographically.[Roger Ebert] 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:Nature does nothing uselessly.[Aristotle] Quote:The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.[Bill Cosby] Quote:No country can act wisely simultaneously in every part of the globe at every moment of time.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would affront your intelligence.[William F. Buckley] Quote:The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:Don't take life too seriously; you'll never get out of it alive.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:One of the great attractions of patriotism -- it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Take everything you like seriously, except yourselves.[Rudyard Kipling] Quote:Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously![Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:At the bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique human being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children. [Bill Watterson] Quote:Life is too important to take seriously. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength and your youth. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself, 'It all depends on me.' [Andre Gide] 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:Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. [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:You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war. [Albert Einstein] Quote:People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. [Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Nature does nothing uselessly. [Aristotle] Quote:Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
