It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right, and I will be proved right. We are more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first -- rock'n'roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.[John Lennon] Quote:No sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow reason but we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation; till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn scepticism.[George Berkeley] Quote:My political ambitions have nothing to do with vanity or the desire for power. I want to help people. I owe them something after all they've done for me.[Arnold Schwarzenegger] Quote:I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.[Henry Thoreau] Quote:I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.[Samuel Goldwyn] 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: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:The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.[Franklin D. Roosevelt] Quote:I think it's insulting to people who have a heritage of slavery to compare the homosexual experience in America to that. It's an unfortunate, cheap attempt to piggyback on something and to co-opt life experiences of others, claim that you've experienced them yourselves so that you can advance a cause.[Rush Limbaugh] 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:Man's nature is not always to advance; it has its advances and retreats.[Blaise Pascal] Quote:The sole advantage of power is that you can do more good.

You can't sit back and wait. [General Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Let the fear of danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger. [Francis Quarles] Quote:Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed.
