I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me.

To know that what is impenatrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sent iment.

The first two are beyond our comprehension. So we must do what we can with the third.[John F. Kennedy] Quote:Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.[Patrick Henry] 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:When this girl at the museum asked me who I liked better, Monet or Manet, I said, 'I like mayonnaise.' She just stared at me, so I said it again, louder. Then she left.

Lawrence] Quote:Everyone has talent; what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.[Erica Jong] 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:If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true?I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents.It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Anyone without a sense of humor is at the mercy of everyone else.[William Rotsler] Quote:It is fast approaching the point where I don't want to elect anyone stupid enough to want the job.[Erna Bombeck] Quote:Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.[Plato] Quote:Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.[Plato] Quote:I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught. [Georgia O'Keeffe] Quote:Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can. [Jay Leno] Quote:Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads. [Erica Jong] Quote:Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives. [Aeschylus] Quote:Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. [Georg Christoph Lichtenberg] Quote:You've been listening to the adagio from Beethoven's 7th Symphony. I think Ludwig pretty much summed up death in this one. You know, he had lost just about all his hearing when he wrote it, and I've often wondered if that didn't help him tune into the final silence of the great beyond. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:You don't have to suffer to be a poet; adolescence is enough suffering for anyone. [John Ciardi] Quote:Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. [Douglas Adams] Quote:Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character.

No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them. [Edward R. Murrow] Quote:Words calculated to catch everyone may catch no one. [Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.] Quote:Equal opportunity means everyone will have a fair chance at being incompetent. [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:Everyone rises to their level of incompetence. [Laurence J. Peter] Quote:Wildness. We're running out of it, even up in Alaska. People need to be reminded that the world is unsafe and unpredictable, and at a moment's notice, they could lose everything, like that. I do it to remind them that chaos is always out there, lurking beyond the horizon. That, plus, sometimes you have to do something bad, just to know you're alive.
