John Podhoretz

William Shakespeare
The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.
Ayn Rand
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
William Lyon Phelps
Great abilities are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and coloring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.
Samuel Johnson

Our glory and sadness lose their importance. Whatever we conquered or lost remains there below. From the heights of the mountain, you see how large the world is, and how wide its horizons.
Paulo Coelho

The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
Voltaire
Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment.
Our only hope is to control the vote.
Medgar Evers
I hate mankind, for I think of myself as one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
I do not believe that Congress or the Administration should prohibit the medical community from pursuing a promising avenue of research that may improve the lives of millions of Americans.
Tom Allen
I am a great friend to public amusements, for they keep the people from vice.
Playing hard to get is not the way to win me over. I'm definitely more for the girl who can smile and laugh all the time and just have a good time!
