It doesn't matter that Bush scares the hell out of me. What matters is that he scares the hell out of a lot of very important people in Washington who can't speak out, in the military, in the intelligence community.
Seymour Hersh
I have made this letter a rather long one, only because I didn't have the leisure to make it shorter.
Blaise Pascal
From reading a previous answer, you know that I consider all those aspects to be part of American cultural myth and thus they figure into good American poetry, whether the poet is aware of what he is doing or not.
Diane Wakoski
If I had more time I would write a shorter letter.
Once in a while I'll get moved to do some exercise. It's something I long for but the biggest problem is bending down and putting my tennis shoes on. Once I go out I'm OK.
David Soul
The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first.
Animals do not admire each other. A horse does not admire its companion.
The highest order of mind is accused of folly, as well as the lowest. Nothing is thoroughly approved but mediocrity. The majority has established this, and it fixes its fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.
There are few in America that really know how to take advantage of the current health care system.
Matthew Lesko
We are only falsehood, duplicity, contradiction; we both conceal and disguise ourselves from ourselves.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
Scott Adams
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Secondly I would like to make continuous efforts of stabilising cross Strait relations, eventually reaching peace across the Taiwan strait and stability and security in the Asia Pacific region.
Chen Shui-bian

These measures may not constitute an absolute guarantee of peace, but, in my opinion, they constitute the greatest preventive measures ever adopted by nations.
Frank B. Kellogg
Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.
I do not admire a virtue like valour when it is pushed to excess, if I do not see at the same time the excess of the opposite virtue, as one does in Epaminondas, who displayed extreme valour and extreme benevolence. For otherwise it is not an ascent, but a fall. We do not display our greatness by placing ourselves at one extremity, but rather by being at both at the same time, and filling up the whole of the space between them.
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars.
Arthur C. Clarke
On vanity: The nose of Cleopatra: if it had been shorter, the face of the earth would have changed.
I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
Bruce Dickinson
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal, My strength lies solely in my tenacity.
Louis Pasteur
Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.
Publilius Syrus
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Do not let yourself be tainted with a barren skepticism.
War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.
Napoleon Hill
You bring me the deepest joy that can be felt by a man whose invincible belief is that Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War, that nations will unite, not to destroy, but to build, and that the future will belong to those who will have done most for suffering humanity.
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
Marcus Garvey
Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.
Joe Paterno
Through these adversities, Israel has endured with continued strength, conviction, and faith.
Jerry Costello

Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.
Stephen Jay Gould
Act like you expect to get into the end zone.
I'm a teenager, but I'm independent - I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone.
Adriana Lima
You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you'll lose again, and then losing becomes a habit.
Grace is in garments, in movements, in manners beauty in the nude, and in forms. This is true of bodies but when we speak of feelings, beauty is in their spirituality, and grace in their moderation.
Joseph Joubert
If a man has done his best, what else is there?
General George Patton
The words spoken by the leader of the free world can expand the frontiers of freedom or shrink them. When Ronald Reagan called on Gorbachev to 'tear down this wall,' a surge of confidence rose that would ultimately breach the bounds of the evil empire.
