Harry Browne
No mans error becomes his own Law; nor obliges him to persist in it.
Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, part 2
Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Listen, buddy, if I could tell you in a minute what I did, it wouldn't be worth the Nobel Prize.

Matthew Arnold
Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coattails.
Clarence Darrow
I guess as long as people think of me for different ages, I'll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19, so I've kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal's wife and a freshman in college in the same year.
Anna Kendrick
Wherever slavery is, it has been first introduced without law. The oldest laws we find concerning it, are not laws introducing it; but regulating it, as an already existing thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Journalism is literature in a hurry.
At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.
Satyajit Ray
There is no such thing as perpetual tranquility of mind, while we live here; because life itself is but motion, and can never be without desire, nor without fear, no more than without sense.
Thomas Hobbes
In America, as opposed to the old country, success was based on merit.
Rand Paul
Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.
Terry Pratchett
There could be whole antiworlds and antipeople made out of antiparticles. However, if you ever meet your antiself, don't shake hands! You would both vanish in a great flash of light.
Stephen Hawking, A Brief History
You need to do the work to bring the money in, but not compromise standards.
Heston Blumenthal
It's tough to stay married. My wife says no because she's tired then stays up and reads her book.
Rodney Dangerfield
He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information, moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.
Marshall McLuhan
I had just received my degree in Calcium Anthropology... Thestudy of milkmen.
Steven Wright
How many attractions for us have our passing fellows in the streets, both male and female, which our ethics forbid us to express, which yet infuse so much pleasure into life. A lovely child, a handsome youth, a beautiful girl, a heroic man, a maternal woman, a venerable old man, charm us, though strangers, and we cannot say so, or look at them but for a moment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journal, No
People listen to music the way they want to listen to music.
Tori Amos
You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.
Stephen King
Nationalism is the love which ties me to the blockheads of my country, to the insultors of my way of life, and to the desecrators of my language.
Karl Kraus
For the past eight years, the right has been better at working the refs. Now the left is learning how to play the game.
Eric Alterman
Still this planet's soil for noble deeds grants scope abounding.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called
Carl Sagan
I'd been a wedding singer through college, but after a few years of doing my best renditions of jazz standards to clinking glasses and the sound of forks on salad, I thought, 'Oh God, if this is all I do, I'll never be able to live with myself.'
Idina Menzel
Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.
Doug Larson
If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn't be here. It'd still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.
Ronald Reagan
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
George Burns
War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle; therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against one other.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse; as I have found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position and be bruised in a new place.
Washington Irving, Tales of a Tr
Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll go canoeing.
Henry David Thoreau
The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.
Baruch Spinoza
The traveler that resolutely follows a rough and winding path will sooner reach the end of his journey than he that is always changing his direction, and wastes the hour of daylight in looking for smoother ground and shorter passages.
Samuel Johnson
All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don't indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.
Giada De Laurentiis
Alone, I often fall down into nothingness. I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness. I have to bang my head against some hard door to call myself back to the body.
Virginia Woolf
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move...
Robert Louis Stevenson
