He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.[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:Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here.

Washington] 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:Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.[Victor Hugo] Quote:A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit.

Aim at Earth and you get neither.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Don't say it was 'delightful'; make us say 'delightful' when we've read the description.

Lewis] Quote:Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.[C.S. Lewis] 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:If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:An atheist is one who hopes the Lord will do nothing to disturb his disbelief.[Franklin Jones] Quote:I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick.

That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it;[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Truth is sacred; and if you tell the truth too often nobody will believe it.[GK Chesterton] Quote:If we will not learn to eat the only food that the universe grows...then we must starve eternally.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Experts tell us that if the Millennium Bug is not fixed, when the year 2000 arrives, our financial records will be inaccurate, our telephone system will be unreliable, our government will be paralyzed and airline flights will be canceled without warning.

Lewis] Quote:Be sure that the ins and outs of your individuality are no mystery to Him; and one day they will no longer be a mystery to you.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Who does not thank for little will not thank for much.[Author Unknown] Quote:The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings![Henry Ward Beecher] Quote:A University of Chicago professor said the greatest day in the world was when a water puppy crawled out on land and decided to stay. The water puppy, he said, went on to become a man. If he proves that, I am willing to give up Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day, and to celebrate Water Puppy Day.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:I believe one of the reasons so many do not get a higher education is the fear of their parents that they will lose more morally than they will receive mentally.[William Jennings Bryan] Quote:'It will obliterate your senses!' reports David Gillin, who obviously writes autobiographically.[Roger Ebert] Quote:Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.[Joseph Pulitzer] Quote:You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says,[Dave Barry] 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:To defend Western Europe we have to let the Pentagon buy all these tanks and guns and things, and the Pentagon is unable to buy any object that that costs less than a condominium in Vail. If the Pentagon needs, say, fruit, it will argue that it must have fruit that can withstand the rigors of combat conditions, and it will wind up purchasing the FX-700 Seedless Tactical Grape, which will cost $160,000 per bunch, and will have an 83 percent failure rate.[Dave Barry] 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: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 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:In some versions of my original contest column I had proposed, in a lighthearted manner, that we reduce the deficit by 'selling unnecessary states such as Oklahoma to the Japanese.' This caused a number of Oklahomans to send in letters containing many correctly spelled words and making the central lighthearted point that I am a jerk. They also sent me official literature stating that Oklahoma has enormous quantities of culture in the form of ballet, Oral Roberts, etc., and that the Official State Reptile -- I am not making this up -- is something called the 'Mountain Boomer.' So I apologize to Oklahoma, and as a token of my sincerity I'm willing to sell my state, Florida, to the Japanese, assuming nobody objects to the fact that Japan would suddenly become the most heavily armed nation on Earth.[Dave Barry] Quote:We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.[Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.[Fran Lebowitz] Quote:Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.[Anthelme Brillat-Savarin] Quote:It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.[George Dennison Prentice] Quote:Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.[Edmund Burke] Quote:When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.[Edmund Burke] Quote:If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.[Aristotle] Quote:A true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Democracy is a process by which people are free to choose the man who will get the blame.[Laurence Peter] Quote:The man who says he is willing to meet you halfway is usually a poor judge of distance.[Laurence Peter] Quote:I am not a has-been. I am a will be.[Lauren Bacall] Quote:The measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away.[Wayne Dyer] Quote:Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Beware of little expenses.

Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom, and you will have everything.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:You may delay, but time will not.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more.[Dorothy Parker] Quote:Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.[Mark Twain] Quote:The holy passion of Friendship is of so sweet and steady and loyal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime, if not asked to lend money.[Mark Twain] Quote:Unless you believe, you will not understand.[Saint Augustine] Quote:Be a good listener. Your ears will never get you in trouble.[Frank Tyger] Quote:Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.[Bill Cosby] Quote:He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.[Thomas Paine] Quote:It is not what we have that will make us a great nation; it is the way in which we use it.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.[Erich Fromm] 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:It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.[George Washington] Quote:War - an act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will.[George Washington] Quote:Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.[Mike Tyson] Quote:I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect.[George Carlin] Quote:Of course the meek will inherit the earth, what, did you think they'd take it by force?[Author Unknown] Quote:There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.[Thomas Edison] 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:Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.[John F.

I have described the movie accurately and you have a good idea what you are in for if you go to see it. Most of you will not. I cannot argue with you. Some of you will--the brave and the curious. You embody the spirit of the man who first wondered what it would taste like to eat an oyster.[Roger Ebert] Quote:If you're given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.[Katherine Hepburn] Quote:Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right, and I will be proved right.

It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.[John Lennon] 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.

If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.

The origin of myths is explained in this way.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:The flames kindled on the Fourth of July, 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.[Albert Camus] Quote:You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.[Albert Camus] Quote:A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.[Francis Bacon] Quote:Always leave something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under.[Ronald Reagan] 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:You must not think me necessarily foolish because I am facetious, nor will I consider you necessarily wise because you are grave.[Sydney Smith] Quote:The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye.

Will what you imagine. Create what you will.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as [Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.[Albert Einstein] 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: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: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:Nothing you can't spell will ever work.[Will Rogers] Quote:The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.[Adolf Hitler] Quote:The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame.

It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government.[Daniel Webster] Quote:If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving that upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity.[Daniel Webster] Quote:Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.[Daniel Webster] Quote:The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.[Vince Lombardi] Quote:I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.[Charles Dickens] Quote:I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.[Leonardo da Vinci] Quote:I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.[Mother Teresa] Quote:What we humans are is really a remarkable thing. How can you doubt that we will survive and mature? There may be a lot of wisdom in the old statement about looking on the world lovingly. If we can, perhaps the world will have time to resolve itself.[Gene Roddenberry] Quote:As long as war is regarded as wicked it will always have its fascinations. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.[Roy L. Smith] Quote:I heard the bells on Christmas Day. Their old, familiar carols play. And wild and sweet the words repeat. Of peace on earth, good-will to men![Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:That is the true season of love, when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will love in the same way after us.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:In doubt a man of worth will trust to his own wisdom.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:Never exaggerate your faults. Your friends will attend to that.[Francis Bacon] Quote:There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.[Douglas Adams] Quote:Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.[Paul Tillich] Quote:A strict master will not have understanding sons.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:Knowledge that is paid for will be longer remembered.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The man who disobeys his parents will have disobedient sons.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.

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:Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war. Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Drive thy business or it will drive thee.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.[Benjamin Franklin] 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:If we don?t end war, war will end us.[H.G.

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives.[James Madison] Quote:Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.[Nathaniel Hawthorne] Quote:Our industries have expanded to such a point that they will burst their jackets if they cannot find a free outlet to the markets of the world. Our domestic markets no longer suffice. We need foreign markets.[Woodrow Wilson] Quote:Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.[Jacob August Riis] Quote:All I want out of life, is that when I walk down the street folks will say, 'There goes the greatest hitter that ever lived.'[Ted Williams] Quote:I am a thing that thinks, that is to say, a thing that doubts, affrims, denies, understands a few things, is ignorant of many things, wills, refrains from willing, and also imagines and senses.[Rene Descartes] Quote:What is good? Everything that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex.

If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and nothing else![Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:At the bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique human being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Any great truth can -- and eventually will -- be expressed as a cliche -- a cliche is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance, my grandmother used to say, 'The black cat is always the last one off the fence.' I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly true.

[Anonymous] Quote:Write a wise saying and your name will live forever [Anonymous] Quote:Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes. [Jawaharlal Nehru] Quote:Marriage. It's a hard term to define. Especially for me--I've ducked it like root canal. Still there's no denying the fact that marriage ranks right up there with birth and death as one of the three biggies in the human safari. It's the only one though that we'll celebrate with a conscious awareness. Very few of you remember your arrival and even fewer of you will attend your own funeral. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think you can measure life in terms of years. I think longevity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with happiness. I mean happiness comes from facing challenges and going out on a limb and taking risks. If you're not willing to take a risk for something you really care about, you might as well be dead. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.

Kennedy] Quote:Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. [John F. Kennedy] Quote:I was born an American; I will live an American; I shall die an American.

[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds. [Sir Francis Bacon] Quote:Television has proved that people will look at anything rather than each other. [Ann Landers] Quote:Equal opportunity means everyone will have a fair chance at being incompetent. [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:Judge thyself with the judgment of sincerity, and thou will judge others with the judgment of charity. [Jules Renard] Quote:Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot. [Colette] Quote:This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop. [Alfred Hitchcock] 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:It's funny, to me, the way people refer to childbirth as a miraculous event. A miracle is something that defies nature. Only, childbirth has got to be the most natural thing in the world. Top three anyway. But, on the other hand, when you think about it, there's really no other word that fits. Sperm. Egg. A coincidental meshing of genetic information that will grow something that could write an opera or cook up some Napalm. It blows my mind. [Barbara Hall] Quote:One of the things that keeps you from dropping them in the nearest volcano is that you had to work too hard to get them. You had to cry, you had to scream, you had to sweat, you had to cuss out health care officials, and when that's all over with, you'll be willing to put up with a lot more from your kids. [Barbara Hall] Quote:Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny. [Carl Schurz] Quote:The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization. [Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:A rumor without a leg to stand on will get around some other way. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:A good name, like good will, is got by many actions and lost by one.

[Andre Maurois] Quote:I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. [Lillian Hellman] Quote:Eat a third and drink a third and leave the remaining third of your stomach empty. Then, when you get angry, there will be sufficient room for your rage. [Confucius] Quote:He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. [Sir Winston Churchill] Quote:Far better to think historically, to remember the lessons of the past. Thus, far better to conceive of power as consisting in part of the knowledge of when not to use all the power you have. Far better to be one who knows that if you reserve the power not to use all your power, you will lead others far more successfully and well. [Abraham Lincoln] Quote:While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it. [Samuel Johnson] Quote:If liberty and equality, as is thought by some are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in the government to the utmost. [Aristotle] Quote:If liberty and equality, as is thought by some are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in the government to the utmost. [Aristotle] Quote:He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,<br>And he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere. [Aristotle] Quote:Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit. [Aristotle] Quote:Where you find the laws most numerous, there you will find also the greatest injustice. [Aristotle] Quote:Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning. The quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligence quotient. [Euripides] Quote:Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. [Henry David Thoreau] Quote:Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. [Malcolm Forbes] Quote:Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. [Robert Frost] Quote:Once lead this people into war and they will forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance. [Woodrow Wilson] Quote:ONE WHO WAITS: There are those who believe that time is a wheel turning forever. Which would mean that your moment will surely come.

[Lois McMaster Bujold] Quote:We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them. [Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:There are two modes of establishing our reputation: to be praised by honest men, and to be abused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the former, because it will invariably be accompanied by the latter. [Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into a committee -- that will do them in. [Doug Larson] Quote:Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway. [Elbert Hubbard] Quote:The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. [Elbert Hubbard] Quote:God, I don?t have great faith, but I can be faithful. My belief in you may be seasonal, but my faithfulness will not. I will follow in the way of Christ. I will act as though my life and the lives of others matter. I will love. I have no greater gift to offer than my life. Take it. [Real Live Preacher] Quote:Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak. [Ausonius] Quote:Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. [Socrates] Quote:The future will be better tomorrow.
