| Quote:Oh, man, what a day. It's no cakewalk being a single parent, juggling a career and family like so many juggling balls... two, I suppose.[Chief Wiggum] Quote:Take from the church the miraculous, the supernatural, the incomprehensible, the unreasonable, the impossible, the unknowable, the absurd, and nothing but a vacuum remains.[Robert G. Ingersoll] 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:What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when He catches us, as it were, off our guard.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionable integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.[Dave Barry] Quote:The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.[Lynn Lavner] Quote:The reason gas stations sell food, of course, is that the supermarkets are busy cashing checks. The supermarkets have to cash checks because the banks are busy mailing unsolicited credit cards to everybody in the Western Hemisphere. The result is that very few people fix cars.[Dave Barry] Quote:There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky, anytime, anywhere, and kill you.[Dave Barry] Quote:When you get right down to it, the Safety Lecture is a silly idea. I mean, if the passengers really thought the plane was going to crash, they wouldn't get on it in the first place, let alone learn how to get an adequate oxygen supply on the way down.[Dave Barry] Quote:I hate rap music, which to me sounds like a bunch of angry men shouting, possibly because the person who was supposed to provide them with a melody never showed up.[Dave Barry] 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:Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom, and you will have everything.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Life is not a support system for art. It's the other way around.[Stephen King] Quote:We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.[Thomas Paine] Quote:It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.[George Washington] Quote:A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.[Confucius] Quote:As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.[Josh Billings] Quote:I broke a mirror the other day. I'm supposed to get seven years of bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five.[Steven Wright] Quote:In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.[GK Chesterton] Quote:But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake -- which I also keep handy.[W.C. Fields] Quote:Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. The successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. So far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this: doing what you know you should do.[Roger Babson] Quote:Such is the delicacy of man alone, that no object is produced to his liking. He finds that in everything there is need for improvement. The whole industry of human life is employed not in procuring the supply of our three humble necessities, food, clothes and lodging, but in procuring the conveniences of it according to the nicety and delicacy of our tastes.[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:How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.[Adam Smith] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Wedding: a ceremony at which two persons undertake to become one, one undertakes to become nothing, and nothing undertakes to become supportable.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Everything except God has some natural superior; everything except unformed matter has some natural inferior.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expense, and my expense is equal to my wishes.[Kahlil Gibran] Quote:A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Inspiration may be a form of superconsciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness - I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self- consciousness. [Aaron Copland] Quote:Count Hermann Keyserling once said truly that the greatest American superstition was belief in facts. [John Henry Cardinal Newman] Quote:Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. [Mark Twain] Quote:We do not destroy religion by destroying superstition. [Cicero] Quote:Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior. [Sir Francis Bacon] Quote:He was a genius - that is to say, a man who does superlatively and without obvious effort something that most people cannot do by the uttermost exertion of their abilities. [Robertson Davies] Quote:In America any boy may become President and I suppose it's just one of the risks he takes. [Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.] Quote:The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. [Confucius] Quote:The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. [Confucius] Quote:My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. [Helen Keller] Quote:A superstition is a premature explanation that overstays its time. [Helen Keller] Quote:By the time I'd grown up, I naturally supposed that I'd be grown up. [Helen Hayes] Quote:Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds. [Samuel Butler] Quote:Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion. [Margaret Cho] Quote:Adulthood isn't an award they'll give you for being a good child. You can waste... years, trying to get someone to give that respect to you, as though it were a sort of promotion or raise in pay. If only you do enough, if only you are good enough. No. You have to just... take it. Give it to yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like that and walk away. But that's hard. [Lois McMaster Bujold] Quote:To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail our pride supports us; when we succeed, it betrays us. [Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:It has been said that man is a rational animal. All my life I have been searching for evidence which could support this. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Mathematics, rightly viewed, posses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Faith must have adequate evidence, else it is mere superstition.
