| Quote:Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't part anywhere near the place.[Steven Wright] Quote:Anybody can make history; only a great man can write it.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.[T.S.

Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Victory belongs to the most persevering.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.[C.S. Lewis] 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:History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive.[GK Chesterton] Quote:All but the hard hearted man must be torn with pity for this pathetic dilemma of the rich man, who has to keep the poor man just stout enough to do the work and just thin enough to have to do it.[GK Chesterton] Quote:If the universe is so bad...how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator?[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth.[Dave Barry] 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:It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent.[Dave Barry] Quote:Karate is a form of marital arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.[Dave Barry] Quote:Magnetism, as you recall from physics class, is a powerful force that causes certain items to be attracted to refrigerators.[Dave Barry] Quote:Males have a lot of trouble not looking at breasts. What is worse, males cannot look at breasts and think at the same time. In fact, scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid. This was proved in a famous 1978 laboratory experiment wherein a team of leading male psychological researchers at Yale deliberately looked at photographs of breasts every day for two years, at the end of which they concluded that they had failed to take any notes.[Dave Barry] Quote:Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.[Dave Barry] Quote:An orator is a man who says what he thinks and feels what he says.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?[Theodor Seuss Geisel] Quote:Beauty is ever to the lonely mind a shadow fleeting; she is never plain. She is a visitor who leaves behind the gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.[Christopher Morley] Quote:It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.[Siddhartha Buddha] 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:The only flaw in the Hinckley trial is that it left a lot of people with the impression that psychiatrists are just a bunch of bearded voodoo doctors who espouse confusing and wildly contradictory theories that have nothing to do with common sense. This is totally unfair. Many psychiatrists are clean-shaven.[Dave Barry] Quote:We should enact an 'e' tax. Government agents would roam the country looking for stores whose names contained any word that ended in an unnecessary 'e,' such as 'shoppe' or 'olde,' and the owners of these stores would be taxed at a flat rate of $50,000 per year per 'e.' We should also consider an additional $50,000 'ye' tax, so that the owner of a store called 'Ye Olde Shoppe' would have to fork over $150,000 a year. In extreme cases, such as 'Ye Olde Barne Shoppe,' the owner would simply be taken outside and shot.[Dave Barry] Quote:You should never pick up a newspaper when you're feeling good, because every newspaper has a special department, called the Bummer Desk, which is responsible for digging up depressing front-page stories with headlines like DOORBELL USE LINKED TO LEUKEMIA and OZONE LAYER COMPLETELY GONE DIRECTLY OVER YOUR HOUSE.[Dave Barry] Quote:Cooking was invented in prehistoric times, when a primitive tribe had a lucky accident. The tribe had killed an animal and was going to eat it raw, when a tribe member named Woog tripped and dropped it into the fire. At first the other tribe members were angry at Woog, but then, as the aroma of burning meat filled the air, they had an idea. So they ate Woog raw.[Dave Barry] 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: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 whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:Creditors have better memories than debtors.[Benjamin Franklin] 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:They sicken of the calm who know the storm.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.[Mark Twain] Quote:Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may.[Mark Twain] Quote:Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.[Mark Twain] Quote:To us, the moment 8:17 A.M. means something - something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train. To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance - did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were part inventors of time.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:From such beginnings of governments, what could be expected, but a continual system of war and extortion?[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:When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not guilty.'[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. 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:A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.[Frank Lloyd Wright] Quote:There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Can't live with 'em. Can't legally torture them to death.[Author Unknown] Quote:Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is--the strong horse that pulls the whole cart.[Winston Churchill] 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:Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.[Steve Martin] Quote:The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.[William F. Buckley] Quote:Imagine the Creator as a low comedian, and at once the world becomes explicable.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Your life story would not make a good book. Don't even try.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.[GK Chesterton] 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:The movie's director is the pilot. It's his vision. For an actor, the time to worry about flying is when you're on the ground. If you don't want to fly with the director, don't get on the plane.[Denzel Washington] Quote:More than any time in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.[Woody Allen] Quote:Thus far, the reputed idiot Bush has graduated from Yale and Harvard, made a stack of cash in the oil industry, become the first consecutive-term governor of Texas, defeated a dual-term VP for the presidency, and led his party to [November 5th's] extraordinary triumphs. Let his opponents keep calling him stupid; if they do, within five years Bush will be King of England, the Pope, and world Formula One motor racing champion.[Tim Blair] Quote:History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.[Winston Churchill] Quote:If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:Children always understand. They have open minds. They have built-in shit detectors.[Madonna Ciccone] Quote:We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise.

Full effort is full victory.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, <b[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Actors are one family over the entire world.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:Life is no brief candle to me.

Unless there are three other people.[Orson Welles] 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:Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities.[Erica Jong] Quote:Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.[George Patton] Quote:The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.[Adolf Hitler] Quote:Blood is the ink of our life's story.[Jason Mechalek] Quote:The uniform, constant and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition, the principle from which public and national, as well as private opulence is originally derived, is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration. Like the unknown principle of animal life, it frequently restores health and vigour to the constitution, in spite, not only of the disease, but of the absurd prescriptions of the doctor.[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: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:History is merely a list of surprises. It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again.[Kurt Vonnegut] Quote:An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.[Eleanor Roosevelt] Quote:There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.[Ansel Adams] 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:If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. 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:If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man?s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.[Oscar Wilde] 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:To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action![Albert Einstein] 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:The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.[James Madison] Quote:Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance.[Woodrow Wilson] Quote:The history of liberty is a history of limitation of government power, not the increase of it.[Woodrow Wilson] Quote:To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

[Henry Bromel] Quote:I've grown to realize the joy that comes from little victories is preferable to the fun that comes from ease and the pursuit of pleasure. [Lawana Blackwell] Quote:Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past.
