| Quote:If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:What seem our worst prayers may really be, in God's eyes, our best. Those, I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For these may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speak to us most intimately when He catches us, as it were, off our guard.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Playwriting gets into your blood and you can't stop it. At least, not until the producers or the public tell you to.[T.S. Eliot] 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:The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.[Aristotle] Quote:Those who excel in virtue have the best right of all to rebel, but then they are of all men the least inclined to do so.[Aristotle] Quote:That government is best which governs least.[Thomas Paine] 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:Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.[George Washington] Quote:The most ridiculous concept ever perpetrated by Homo Sapiens is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of the Universes, wants the sacharrine adoration of his creations, that he can be persuaded by their prayers, and becomes petulant if he does not recieve this flattery. Yet this ridiculous notion, without one real shred of evidence to bolster it, has gone on to found one of the oldest, largest and least productive industries in history.[Robert Heinlein] Quote:Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:He is richest who is content with the least.[Socrates] Quote:I could not handle being a woman, I would stay home all day and play with my breasts.[Steve Martin] Quote:Of all lies, art is the least untrue.[Gustave Flaubert] Quote:At least five times...with the Arian and the Albigensian, with the Humanist sceptic, after Voltaire and after Darwin, the Faith has to all appearance gone to the dogs. In each of these five cases it was the dog that died.[GK Chesterton] Quote:Philosophers, for the most part, are constitutionally timid, and dislike the unexpected. Few of them would be genuinely happy as pirates or burglars. Accordingly they invent systems which make the future calculable, at least in its main outlines.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one's nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.[Madonna Ciccone] Quote:I love Thanksgiving.

Murrow] Quote:Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.[George Washington] Quote:Put duties aside at least an hour before bed and perform soothing, quiet activities that will help you relax. [Elisabeth Kubler-Ross] Quote:Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.

[Francois de La Rochefoucauld] Quote:To find yourself jilted is a blow to your pride. Do your best to forget it and if you don't succeed, at least pretend to. [Moliere] Quote:Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from. [Al Franken] Quote:Be modest! It is the kind of pride least likely to offend. [Jules Renard] Quote:Be modest! It is the kind of pride least likely to offend. [Jules Renard] Quote:Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner.
