I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.
Man's greatness consists in his ability to do and the proper application of his powers to things needed to be done.
Frederick Douglass
If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
I recognize the Republican party as the sheet anchor of the colored mans political hopes and the ark of his safety.
I knew that however bad the Republican party was, the Democratic party was much worse. The elements of which the Republican party was composed gave better ground for the ultimate hope of the success of the colored mans cause than those of the Democratic party.
For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.
To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse.
Barbara Tuchman
Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
There is nothing as deceptive as an obvious fact.
Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.
Yes, the companionship is amazing. You know, you can get that physical attraction that happens is great, but then there's an awful lot of time and the rest of the day that you have to fill.
Vince Gill
Since I travel so much, it's always great to be home. There's nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.
Amy Grant
Clearly, the Chinese know that we want a good relationship with them.
Fred Thompson
I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version.
Orlando Bloom
I myself have never been enchanted by the dream of the white wedding, and, heaven help us, the expectation that this exquisitely catered event should be 'the happiest moment' of one's life.
Elizabeth Gilbert
When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing.
Bo Schembechler
Love is a spendthrift, leaves it arithmetic at home, is always in the red.
Paul Scherer
God walked down the stairs of heaven with a Baby in His arms.
As a speaker, business leader or marketer of any type, the onus is now on each of us to become equally capable of communicating very personally with a seemingly endless number of people connected by social technologies.
Simon Mainwaring
Myspace alone has just over 80 million users and ranks as the sixth most popular English language website and the eighth most popular site in the world.
Mike Fitzpatrick
When we're talking about technology that involves weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, there has to be an element of preemption.
John Sununu
Change is vital, improvement the logical form of change.
James Cash Penney
A final word: I am not knowledgeable about the internet. I do not have a computer. I guess that at 74 years of age, I don't have the patience to learn.
David Wilkerson
I believe in prayer. It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven.
Josephine Baker
I confess that for fifteen years my efforts in education, and my hopes of success in establishing a system of national education, have always been associated with the idea of coupling the education of this country with the religious communities which exist.
Richard Cobden
I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
George Burns
Knowledge is never too dear.
Francis Walsingham
Voice-acting, on the fun meter, is off the scale. You show up, you don't have to be all primped up, or dressed up. And you get to work with some amazing people, and goof off for four hours.
Jason Marsden
It is not to be expected that human nature will change in a day.
Frank B. Kellogg
I would borrow my mom's red Borghese lipstick and smear it on like a clown!
Brooke Burns
Society as a whole benefits immeasurably from a climate in which all persons, regardless of race or gender, may have the opportunity to earn respect, responsibility, advancement and remuneration based on ability.
Sandra Day O'Connor
You know when Hollywood does a great big blockbuster that really wraps you up in a world, and lets you believe in extraordinary things that move you in some way, in an almost operatic sensibility? That to me is the most fun I have at the movies.
Christopher Nolan
The thing that we possess, that machines don't, is the ability to exhibit wisdom.
Herbie Hancock
You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny, or you ain't.
Denis Leary
To this day, I've found that it doesn't matter what a guy looks like if he's really funny. His sense of humor makes him attractive. On the other hand, you don't hear men saying, 'No she's not pretty, but is she ever funny!'
Catherine O'Hara
The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish.
Pope John Paul II
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry some days. But I really have worked hard to put a lot of the anger and disappointment in the past.
Monica Lewinsky
The ability of the 1 percent to buy politicians and regulators is nothing new in American politics - just as inequality has been a permanent part of our economic system. This is true of virtually all political and economic systems.
Eric Alterman
The architect should strive continually to simplify the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.
Frank Lloyd Wright
To understand is to forgive, even oneself.
Alexander Chase
Beauty magazines make my girlfriend feel ugly.
