| Quote:Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.[Henry Van Dyke] Quote:Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murders. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.[Victor Hugo] 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:If we will not learn to eat the only food that the universe grows...then we must starve eternally.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean,[Dave Barry] Quote:The Internet: Transforming Society and Shaping the Future Through Chat.[Dave Barry] Quote:How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?[Theodor Seuss Geisel] Quote:To defend Western Europe we have to let the Pentagon buy all these tanks and guns and things, and the Pentagon is unable to buy any object that that costs less than a condominium in Vail. If the Pentagon needs, say, fruit, it will argue that it must have fruit that can withstand the rigors of combat conditions, and it will wind up purchasing the FX-700 Seedless Tactical Grape, which will cost $160,000 per bunch, and will have an 83 percent failure rate.[Dave Barry] 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:I assume you are on the Internet. If you are not, then pardon my French, but vous ehzeh un big loser. Today EVERYBODY is on the Internet, including the primitive Mud People of the Amazon rain forest. In the old days, when the Mud People needed food, they had to manually throw spears at wild boars; whereas today they simply get on the Internet, go to www.spear-a-boar.com and click their mouse a few times (the Mud People use actual mice). Within three business days, a large box is delivered to them by a UPS driver, whom they eat.[Dave Barry] 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:Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:No side will win the Battle of the Sexes. There's too much fraternizing with the enemy.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.[Thomas Sowell] 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:Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State.[Edward Abbey] Quote:If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving that upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity.[Daniel Webster] Quote:If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order.[Dwight Eisenhower] 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:The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:Man was made for action, and to promote by the exertion of his faculties such changes in the external circumstances both of himself and others, as may seem most favourable to the happiness of all.[Adam Smith] Quote:All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:A few hours of mountain climbing turn a villain and a saint into two rather equal creature. Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity, and liberty is added eventually by sleep.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.[Robert Wilensky] Quote:How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.[Alexander Pope] Quote:Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language. [Henry James] Quote:There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart. [Henry James] Quote:The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction. [Jawaharlal Nehru] Quote:On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. [William Gibson] Quote:LEONARD: I've failed, Chris. I can't locate the white collective unconscious.<br>CHRIS: I wouldn't feel too bad about that. You know, western culture hasn't really carried the baton on folklore and mythology. The rise of Christianity put the kibosh on it--the gospel hits the number one best-seller list and everything else gets remaindered. [Barbara Hall] Quote:Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon. [Susan Ertz] Quote:The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread. [Blaise Pascal] Quote:The more alternatives, the more difficult the choice. [Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Many brave men lived before Agamemnon; but all are overwhelmed in eternal night, unwept, unknown, because they lack a sacred poet. [Horace] Quote:I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal. [Eugene Delacroix] Quote:It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics.
