I agree with the second part.[Morgan Freeman] Quote:A second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.[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:The major parties could conduct live human sacrifices on their podiums during prime time, and I doubt that anybody would notice.[Dave Barry] Quote:To be a poet is a condition, not a profession.[Robert Frost] 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:No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.[Aristotle] Quote:Avoid the base hypocrisy of condemning in one man what you pass over in silence when committed by another.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.[Theodore Roosevelt] 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:I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.[George Washington] Quote:You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough in the second half you give what's left.[Yogi Berra] Quote:Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.[George Carlin] Quote:By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.[Confucius] Quote:I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.

Like the unknown principle of animal life, it frequently restores health and vigour to the constitution, in spite, not only of the disease, but of the absurd prescriptions of the doctor.[Adam Smith] Quote:A gardener who cultivates his own garden with his own hands, united in his own person the three different characters, of landlord, farmer, and labourer. His produce, therefore, should pay him the rent of the first, the profit of the second, and the wages of the third.[Adam Smith] Quote:My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.[Erna Bombeck] Quote:Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.[George Santayana] 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:A finer body of men has never been gathered by any nation than the men who have done the work of building the Panama Canal; the conditions under which they have lived and have done their work have been better than in any similar work ever undertaken in the tropics; they have all felt an eager pride in their work; and they have made not only America but the whole world their debtors by what they have accomplished.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.[Thomas Paine] Quote:Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success.[Jim Backus] Quote:This is the second most exciting indoor sport, and the other one shouldn't have spectators.[Dick Vertleib] Quote:The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims.

The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.Workers of all countries...unite![Frederick Engels] Quote:Woman was God's second mistake.[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:Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
