'Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons. The truth will win this marathon in court.'
Insurance is like marriage. You pay, pay, pay, and you never get anything back.
Al Bundy
I'm thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support.
Serena Williams
Once a boy becomes a man, he's a man all his life, but a woman is only sexy until she becomes your wife.
On a shelf above my computer are five letters that spell out W-R-I-T-E. Just in case I forget why I'm there. I also have 'Wonder Woman' paraphernalia from when I wrote five issues of the comic, and pictures of my husband and kids.
Jodi Picoult
I hate work. That's why I got married.
Peg Bundy
Don't you hate when your hand falls asleep and you know it will be up all night?
Steven Wright
The only thing that holds a marriage together is the husband being big enough to keep his mouth shut, to step back and see where his wife is wrong.
Archie Bunker
If all the gold in the world were melted down into a solid cube it would be about the size of an eight room house. If a man got possession of all that gold -- billions of dollars worth -- he could not buy a friend, character, peace of mind, clear conscience or a sense of eternity.
Charles F. Bunning
Fame is proof that people are gullible
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But their determination to banish fools foundered ultimately in the installation of absolute idiots.
Basil Bunting
I shall not grow conservative with age.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.
Liberty Hyde Bailey
I hate science. It denies a man's responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God's fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast. It is far easier for a Hitler or a Stalin to find a mock-scientific excuse for persecution than it was for Dominic to find a mock-Christian one.
Can a moment of madness make up for an age of consent?
be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be.
Henry David Thoreau
Does an architecture to assuage the spirit have a place?
Arthur Erickson
In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.
Luis Bunuel
The decline of the aperitif may well be one of the most depressing phenomena of our time.
If someone were to prove to me -- right this minute -- that God, in all his luminousness, exists, it wouldn't change a single aspect of my behavior.
The hardest thing to do is to trust people.
Dwight Howard
How now, my sweet creature of bombast! How long is't ago, Jack, since thou saw'st thien own knee?
William Shakespeare
Fortunately, somewhere between chance and mystery lies imagination, the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that people keep trying to reduce it or kill it off altogether.
Americans have less and less patience for the intrusive and divisive moral scolds who thrived in the bubbles of the Clinton and Bush years.
Frank Rich
In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
Of course there are critics who believe that no matter what we do, the Florida dream is over. They claim that we must accept the idea that inevitably our future is one of high taxes and big government.
Marco Rubio
A man is related to all nature.
I can only wait for the final amnesia, the one that can erase an entire life.
It can be said of him, when he departed he took a man's life along with him. No sounder piece of British manhood was put together in that eighteenth century of time.
Thomas Carlyle
You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.
A paranoiac, like a poet, is born, not made.
Shapes that contain no inner components of positive/negative relationships will function better with other shapes of the same nature.
Keith Haring
God and Country are an unbeatable team; they break all records for oppression and bloodshed.
If the devil were to offer me a resurgence of what is commonly called virility, I'd decline. Just keep my liver and lungs in good working order, I'd reply, so I can go on drinking and smoking!
If alcohol is queen, then tobacco is her consort. It's a fond companion for all occasions, a loyal friend through fair weather and foul. People smoke to celebrate a happy moment, or to hide a bitter regret. Whether you're alone or with friends, it's a joy for all the senses. What lovelier sight is there than that double row of white cigarettes, lined up like soldiers on parade and wrapped in silver paper? I love to touch the pack in my pocket, open it, savor the feel of the cigarette between my fingers, the paper on my lips, the taste of tobacco on my tongue. I love to watch the flame spurt up, love to watch it come closer and closer, filling me with its warmth.
Tobacco and alcohol, delicious fathers of abiding friendships and fertile reveries.
Poor workers! First they're cuckolded, and, as if that weren't enough, then they're beaten! Work's a curse, Saturno. I say to hell with the work you have to do to earn a living! That kind of work does us no honor; all it does is fill up the bellies of the pigs who exploit us. But the work you do because you like to do it, because you've heard the call, you've got a vocation --that's ennobling! We should all be able to work like that. Look at me, Saturno --I don't work. And I don't care if they hang me, I won't work! Yet I'm alive! I may live badly, but at least I don't have to work to do it!
All my life I've been harassed by questions: Why is something this way and not another? How do you account for that? This rage to understand, to fill in the blanks, only makes life more banal. If we could only find the courage to leave our destiny to chance, to accept the fundamental mystery of our lives, then we might be closer to the sort of happiness that comes with innocence.
Without knowing it, women act as if they were taking away the stones from the path of the wandering mineralogist in order that he might not strike his foot against them - when he has gone out for the very purpose of striking against them
Friedrich Nietzsche
If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.
Adlai E. Stevenson
There was a castle called Doubting Castle, the owner whereof was Giant Despair.
John Bunyan
