| Quote:Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.[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:Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:She didn't reckon with the awesome power of the Chief of Police! Now where did I put my badge?...Hey, that duck's got it![Chief Wiggum] Quote:I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. 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:Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.[Samuel Johnson] Quote:Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.[Mother Teresa] Quote:I never cared but for one thing, and that is simply to know that I am right before my Father in Heaven. If I am this moment, this day, doing the things God requires of my hands, and precisely where my Father in Heaven wants me to be, I care no more about tomorrow than though it would never come.[Brigham Young] Quote:Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.[C.S. Lewis] 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:Talking about golf is always boring. (Playing golf can be interesting, but not the part where you try to hit the little ball; only the part where you drive the cart.)[Dave Barry] Quote:It was when I was happiest that I longed most...The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing...to find the place where all the beauty came from.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere--'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.[Robert Frost] Quote:Other than heaven, the only place where one's heart is completely safe from the dangers of love is hell.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I'm totally at home on the stage. That's where I live. That's where I was born. That's where I'm safe.[Michael Jackson] Quote:It is a well-documented fact that guys will not ask for directions. This is a biological thing. This is why it takes several million guy sperm cells, each one wriggling in its own direction, totally confident it knows where it is going, to locate a female egg, despite the fact that the egg is, relative to them, the size of Wisconsin.[Dave Barry] Quote:There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky, anytime, anywhere, and kill you.[Dave Barry] Quote:Tokyo is huge. Something like 15 million people live there, and my estimate is that at any given moment, 14.7 million of them are lost. This is because the Tokyo street system holds the world outdoor record for randomness. A map of Tokyo looks like a tub of hyperactive bait. There is virtually no street that goes directly from anywhere to anywhere.[Dave Barry] Quote:On the Japanese news, if the announcers had happy faces and perky voices, I knew that meant good news, such as that Japanese scientists had discovered a way to make VCR's even more difficult for Americans to program; whereas if the announcers had serious voices and frowny faces, it meant bad news, such as the worsening eel shortage.[Dave Barry] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:I assume you are on the Internet. If you are not, then pardon my French, but vous ehzeh un big loser. Today EVERYBODY is on the Internet, including the primitive Mud People of the Amazon rain forest. In the old days, when the Mud People needed food, they had to manually throw spears at wild boars; whereas today they simply get on the Internet, go to www.spear-a-boar.com and click their mouse a few times (the Mud People use actual mice). Within three business days, a large box is delivered to them by a UPS driver, whom they eat.[Dave Barry] Quote:Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live.[Socrates] Quote:Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.[GK Chesterton] Quote:It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:Not only does God play dice, but he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.[Stephen Hawking] Quote:America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Education is a method whereby one acquires a higher grade of prejudices.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.[Laurence Peter] Quote:A woman isn't complete without a man. But where do you find a man - a real man - these days?[Lauren Bacall] Quote:My coat and I live comfortably togther. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and I only feel its presence because it keeps me warm. Old coats and old friends are the same thing.[Victor Hugo] Quote:The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.[Henry Kissinger] 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:It is both foolish and wicked to teach the average man who is not well off that some wrong or injustice has been done him, and that he should hope for redress elsewhere than in his own industry, honesty, and intelligence.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:You got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.[Yogi Berra] Quote:I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.[George Carlin] Quote:Black holes are where God divided by zero.[Steven Wright] Quote:I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means.[Clarence Darrow] Quote:Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.[Thomas Edison] Quote:The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Sweet is the scene where genial friendship plays the pleasing game of interchanging praise.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Life is one fool thing after another where as love is two fool things after each other.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.[Thomas Sowell] Quote:Home is where you come when you run out of places.[Author Unknown] Quote:Every exit is an entry somewhere.[Tom Stoppard] Quote:Philosophy: A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.[Ambrose Bierce] 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:I figure wherever I am, that's the place to be.[Tommy Lasorda] Quote:Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:Without losers, where would the winners be?[Casey Stengel] Quote:Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.[Groucho Marx] 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:Puritanism - the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.[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:Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.[Mark Twain] Quote:Having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night is a very old human need.[Margaret Mead] Quote:I do come home at Christmas. We all do, or we all should. We all come home, or ought to come home, for a short holiday -- the longer, the better -- from the great boarding school where we are forever working at our arithmetical slates, to take, and give a rest.[Charles Dickens] Quote:My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-five now, and we don't know where the hell she is.[Ellen DeGeneres] Quote:I'm at an age where I think more about food than sex. Last week I put a mirror over my dining room table.[Rodney Dangerfield] Quote:I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.[Dwight Eisenhower] 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:Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.[Groucho Marx] Quote:Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.[Thomas Aquinas] Quote:There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face.

Sitting on a wise man's knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom; elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Liberty is never out of bounds or off limits; it spreads wherever it can capture the imagination of men.[E.B.
