Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] Quote:Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'

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:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.[Theodore Roosevelt] 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:Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.[Adam Smith] Quote:The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.[George Washington] Quote:Government consists in nothing else but so controlling subjects that they shall neither be able to, nor have cause to do it harm.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.[P.J. O'Rourke] Quote:In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.[Plato] Quote:On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Statistician: A man who believes figures don't lie, but admits that under analysis some of them won't stand up either.

One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey, mud pies. That's us. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Well, you're either lovers or you're wanting to be lovers or you're trying not to be lovers so you can be friends, but any way you look at it, sex is always looming in the picture like a shadow, like an undertow. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Well, you're either lovers or you're wanting to be lovers or you're trying not to be lovers so you can be friends, but any way you look at it, sex is always looming in the picture like a shadow, like an undertow.

Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. [Helen Keller] Quote:Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. [Helen Keller] Quote:Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
