Captain What's-his-name. We live in a society of laws, why do you think I took you to see all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing! Did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Vroom! Beep! Honk! Honk! Ha-ha. Where was I?

This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Don't say it was 'delightful'; make us say 'delightful' when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers 'Please, will you do the job for me?'[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.[Heywood Broun] Quote:Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions.[GK Chesterton] Quote:A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:No doubt those who really founded modern science were usually those whose love of truth exceeded their love of power.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:For those who believe, no explanation is necessary.

Lewis] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.[Laurence Peter] Quote:All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.[Saint Augustine] Quote:I am certainly not an authority on love because there are no authorities on love, just those who've had luck with it and those who haven't.[Bill Cosby] Quote:There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord.[Thomas Paine] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.[George Washington] Quote:As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.[George Washington] Quote:If eighty percent of your sales come from twenty percent of all of your items, just carry those twenty percent.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Boy, those French, they have a different word for everything![Steve Martin] Quote:Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.[Alexander Hamilton] Quote:There will be two kinds of people in the end: Those that will say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God will say 'Thy will be done.'[C.S. Lewis] Quote:We should not criticise those who trip by taking a more difficult than usual step.[Dick Hubbard] Quote:Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders.

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.

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:It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf.[Thomas Paine] 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:Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.[Henry Mencken] Quote:In any fairly large and talkative community such as a university there is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumour that the outsiders say thus and thus. The absent are easily refuted, complacent dogmatism thrives, and differences of opinion are embittered by the group hostility. Each group hears not the best, but the worst, that the other group can say.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Those who believe they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.[J.R.R.

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:For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances as though they were realities. and are often more influenced by things that seem than by those that are.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:Only those who are fit to live do not fear to die. And none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot.[Albert Einstein] 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:If your kid makes one of those little homemade guitars out of a cigar box and rubber bands, don't let him just play it once or twice and then throw it away. Make him practice on it, every day, for about three hours a day. Later, he'll thank you.[Jack Handey] Quote:When real music comes to me - the music of the speres, the music that surpasseth understanding - that has nothing to do with me, cause I'm just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium...those moments are what I live for.[John Lennon] Quote:Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.[Robert Kennedy] Quote:Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:This world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel.[Horace Walpole] Quote:I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.[Henny Youngman] Quote:Laws are partly formed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them how they may live on friendly terms with one another, and partly for the sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued, or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil.[Plato] Quote:An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations. [Charles de Montesquieu] Quote:What is it about genus arboretum that socks us in the figurative solar plexus? We see a logging truck go cruising down the road, stacked with a bunch of those fresh-cut giants, we feel like we lost a brother. Next thing you know, we're in The Brick, we're flopping money down on the bar. Wood. We're under a roof. Wood. We're walking the floors. Wood. Grabbing a pool cue. That's wood. Our friends in the forest carry a set of luggage from the mythical baggage carousel. Tree of life, tree of knowledge, family tree, Buddha's Bodhi tree. Page one of life, in the beginning. Genesis 3:22. Adam and Eve. They're kicking back in the garden of Eden and boom, they get an eviction notice. Why is that? "Lest they should also take of the tree of life, eat and live forever."
