Michael Bloomberg
A sensual and intemperate youth translates into an old worn-out body.
One should always cite what one does not understand at all in the language one understands the least.

Working at the Food Bank with my kids is an eye-opener. The face of hunger isn't the bum on the street drinking Sterno it's the working poor. They don't look any different, they don't behave any differently, they're not really any less educated. They are incredibly less privileged, and that's it.
Mario Batali
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.
The spirit of rebellion can only exist in a society where a theoretical equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of rebellion, therefore, has no meaning except within our own Western society.
Albert Camus
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind.

The decision by the seven-man majority in Roe v. Wade has so far been made to stick. But the Court's decision has by no means settled the debate. Instead, Roe v. Wade has become a continuing prod to the conscience of the nation.
Ronald Reagan
