A kiss, and all was said.[Victor Hugo] Quote:There are fathers who do not love their children; there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.[Victor Hugo] Quote:It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union...

Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.[Marcus Tullius Cicero] Quote:Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.[Theodor Seuss Geisel] 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:Back in the old days, most families were close-knit.

Within three business days, a large box is delivered to them by a UPS driver, whom they eat.[Dave Barry] Quote:I probably should never have been there anyway, and it served me right when the two alert police officers fired up their siren, pulled me over, and pointed out that my car's registration had expired. I had not realized this, and as you can imagine I felt like quite the renegade outlaw as one of the officers painstakingly wrote out my ticket, standing well to the side of the road so as to avoid getting hit by the steady stream of passing unlicensed and uninsured motorists driving their stolen cars with their left hands so that their right hands would be free to keep their pit bulls from spilling their cocaine all over their machine guns. Not that I am bitter.[Dave Barry] Quote:The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.[Edmund Burke] Quote:They defend their errors as if they were defending their inheritance.[Edmund Burke] Quote:Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.[Aristotle] Quote:It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.[Aristotle] Quote:Men create gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life.[Aristotle] Quote:Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.[Aristotle] Quote:The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.[Aristotle] Quote:Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.[Colin Powell] Quote:Many interviewers when they come to talk to me, think they're being progressive by not mentioning in their stories any longer that I'm black. I tell them, 'Don't stop now. If I shot somebody you'd mention it.'[Colin Powell] Quote:Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable.

He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.[George Washington] Quote:I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allah![Mike Tyson] 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:There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.[George Carlin] Quote:It is astonishing what an effort it seems to be for many people to put their brains definitely and systematically to work.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by Homo Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.[Confucius] Quote:If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.[Socrates] Quote:Children today are tyrants.

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:We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy unless he has first experienced their desolations.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.[Mother Teresa] Quote:The wise man always throws himself on the side of his assailants. It is more his interest than it is theirs to find his weak point.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:People are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved.[Borje Vahamaki] Quote:Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.[Earl Nightingale] Quote:The women of this Nation still retain the liberty to control their destinies. But the signs are evident and very ominous, and a chill wind blows.[Harry Blackmun] Quote:Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.[Pablo Picasso] Quote:The heights by great men reached and kept, were not obtained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government.[Daniel Webster] Quote:All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.[Brian Tracy] Quote:A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.[William James] Quote:Why, you can take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together - what do you get? The sum of their fears.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it.[Richard Lamm] Quote:I have always thought of Christmas time as a good time. A kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time. The only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.[Charles Dickens] Quote:Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safetly be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.[Adam Smith] Quote:It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own neccessities but of their advantages.[Adam Smith] Quote:Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only.[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:If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once.[William Shakespeare] Quote:I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellow men.[George MacDonald] Quote:Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:A finer body of men has never been gathered by any nation than the men who have done the work of building the Panama Canal; the conditions under which they have lived and have done their work have been better than in any similar work ever undertaken in the tropics; they have all felt an eager pride in their work; and they have made not only America but the whole world their debtors by what they have accomplished.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:Every year, back comes Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:The great principle which this house ought to guard and cherish is that, when the tax collector comes to the private citizen and takes from him of his wealth for the services of the public, the whole of that money taken shall go for the purposes for which it is intended, and that no private interests, however powerfully they may be organized and however eloquently advocated, shall thrust their dirty fingers into the pie and take the profits for themselves.[Winston Churchill] Quote:A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives.[James Madison] Quote:Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.[Pat Robertson] Quote:Our industries have expanded to such a point that they will burst their jackets if they cannot find a free outlet to the markets of the world. Our domestic markets no longer suffice. We need foreign markets.[Woodrow Wilson] Quote:...a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.[John Adams] Quote:The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.[Adam Smith] Quote:The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:A friend is someone, who upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.[Amanda Grier] Quote:The sports page records people's accomplishments; The front page nothing but their failures.[Earl Warren] Quote:The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.Workers of all countries...unite![Frederick Engels] Quote:People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:"Every man has his price." This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice - and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow. To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds of souls have others.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The less their ability, the more their conceit. [Baltasar Gracian] Quote:Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, <br>Is the immediate jewel of their souls: <br>Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; <br>'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; <br>But he that filches from me my good name <br>Robs me of that which not enriches him <br>And makes me poor indeed. [William Shakespeare] Quote:Underlying the whole scheme of civilization is the confidence men have in each other, confidence in their integrity, confidence in their honesty, confidence in their future. [Havelock Ellis] Quote:Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense. [Gertrude Stein] Quote:Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. [Georg Christoph Lichtenberg] Quote:The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it's their fault. [Henry Kissinger] Quote:The real distinction is between those who adapt their purposes to reality and those who seek to mold reality in the light of their purposes. [Henry Kissinger] Quote:Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that. They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:I have seen men fly bombers with their faces half- blown away. You're going to allow a few algebra formulas to ground you? [Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess] 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:If all the rich people in the world divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go around. [Cicero] Quote:The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. [George Bernard Shaw] 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.

Roosevelt] Quote:I am determined that my children shall be brought up in their father's religion, if they can find out what it is. [Charles Lamb] Quote:Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home. [Bill Cosby] Quote:Those who agree with us may not be right, but we admire their astuteness. [Cullen Hightower] Quote:It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener. [Ayn Rand] 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:We are more ready to try the untried when what we do is inconsequential. Hence the fact that many inventions had their birth as toys. [Eric Hoffer] Quote:Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:The wisest men follow their own direction. [Euripides] Quote:Good laws have their origins in bad morals. [Anatole France] Quote:All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.

Burns] Quote:When men exercise their reason coolly and freely on a variety of distinct questions, they inevitably fall into different opinions on some of them. When they are governed by a common passion, their opinions, if they are to be called, will be the same. [Alexander Hamilton] Quote:Hate no one; hate their vices, not themselves.
