| Quote:A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization.[Samuel Johnson] 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:An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.[Lynn Lavner] 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:Have a vision. Be demanding.[Colin Powell] Quote:God does not give heed to the ambitiousness of our prayers, because he is always ready to give to us his light, not a visible light but an intellectual and spiritual one; but we are not always ready to receive it when we turn aside and down to other things out of a desire for temporal things.[Saint Augustine] Quote:A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines.[Frank Lloyd Wright] Quote:The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision of psychiatry.[Henry Kissinger] 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:In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.[GK Chesterton] Quote:To wage a war for a purely moral reason is as absurd as to ravish a woman for a purely moral reason.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk.[Martin Luther King Jr.] 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:Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.[Adam Smith] Quote:Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:Television has brought back murder into the home, where it belongs.[Alfred Hitchcock] Quote:It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.[Helen Keller] Quote:The world has suffered more from the ravages of ill-advised marriages than from virginity.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Poetry too is a little incarnation, giving body to what had been before invisible and inaudible.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis.[Douglas Adams] Quote:To harken to evil conversation is the road to wickedness.. (Pravis Assuescere Sermonibus Est Via Ad Rem Ipsam) [Anonymous] Quote:Television has proved that people will look at anything rather than each other. [Ann Landers] Quote:Television is the first truly democratic culture - the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what people do want. [David Frost] Quote:[The television is] an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home. [David Frost] Quote:Seeing a murder on television... can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some. [Alfred Hitchcock] Quote:Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it. [Alfred Hitchcock] 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:Television is more interesting than people. If it were not, we would have people standing in the corners of our rooms. [Alan Corenk] Quote:We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown. We have devised profound theories, one after another, to account for its origins. At last, we have succeeded in reconstructing the creature that made the footprint. And lo! It is our own. [Sir Arthur Eddington] Quote:If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke. [Brendan Francis] 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.
