In God's eyes, walking on water is no more miraculous than the ability of hemoglobin to bond with oxygen inside a red blood corpuscle.
By blood a king, in heart a clown.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god -- Society, The State, The Government, The Commune -- must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.
Rose Wilder Lane
Baddies always do get the best lines, that's the honest truth.
James D'arcy
Whoever is detected in a shameful fraud is ever after not believed even if they speak the truth.
Phaedrus
You cannot fight against the future. Time is on our side.
William Ewart Gladstone
Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.
Francis Quarles
Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.
Camille Paglia
There is great food in Vegas.
Eric Ripert
Well, the truth is that a lot of people lie about their health, they lie about the finances, they lie about things at work, they lie about things.
Laura Schlessinger
Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia.
Luke Scott
Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.
H. L. Mencken
High culture is nothing but a child of that European perversion called history, the obsession we have with going forward, with considering the sequence of generations a relay race in which everyone surpasses his predecessor, only to be surpassed by his successor. Without this relay race called history there would be no European art and what characterizes it: a longing for originality, a longing for change. Robespierre, Napoleon, Beethoven, Stalin, Picasso, they're all runners in the relay race, they all belong to the same stadium.
Milan Kundera
