| Quote:I know not what course others make take, but as for me: give me Liberty, or give me death.[Patrick Henry] Quote:Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:The truth is, of course, that the curtness of the Ten Commandments is an evidence, not of the gloom and narrowness of a religion, but, on the contrary, of its liberality and humanity.

The supermarkets have to cash checks because the banks are busy mailing unsolicited credit cards to everybody in the Western Hemisphere. The result is that very few people fix cars.[Dave Barry] Quote:Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may.[Mark Twain] Quote:Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.[Saint Augustine] Quote:The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.[Bill Cosby] Quote:We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Of course the meek will inherit the earth, what, did you think they'd take it by force?[Author Unknown] Quote:Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:In crises the most daring course is often safest.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will; he will be sure to repent it.[Socrates] Quote:Of the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse, yet he has left it out of his heaven.[Mark Twain] Quote:There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily.[George Washington] Quote:Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.[Hermann Goering] Quote:Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.[Adam Smith] Quote:The good people sleep much better at night than the bad people. Of course, the bad people enjoy the waking hours much more.[Woody Allen] Quote:A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:You may have genius. The contrary is, of course, probable.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:Of course I don't believe in it. But I understand that it brings you luck whether you believe in it or not.[Niels Bohr] Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare] Quote:There were always people like the pope. They serve a certain function, of course. They subsidize us. But, they don't create anything and they must never be allowed to stop the artist from creating. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:It is always the best policy to speak the truth--unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar. [Jerome K. Jerome] Quote:We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. [Edward Gibbon] Quote:Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. [Arthur Rubinstein] Quote:Which painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Of course America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
