There is neither a foreign war nor a civil war; there is only just and unjust war.
Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.
Charles Baudelaire
Selfishness is one of the qualities apt to inspire love.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale.
I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.
Shawn Johnson
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
As you say of yourself, I too am an Epicurian. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greece and Rome have left us.
Thomas Jefferson
Together we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck, not a faded word on an old bumper sticker.
Mitt Romney
There are no better terms available to describe The difference between the approach of the natural and the social sciences than to call the former objective and the latter subjective. ... While for the natural scientist the contrast between objective facts and subjective opinions is a simple one, the distinction cannot as readily be applied to the object of the social sciences. The reason for this is that the object, the facts of the social sciences are also opinions -- not opinions of the student of the social phenomena, of course, but opinions of those whose actions produce the object of the social scientist.
Friedrich A. Hayek
Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
Helen Hayes
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
William Shakespeare
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce, the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.
Tom Hanks
We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.
He was a quick fellow, and when hot from play, would toss himself in a corner, and in five minutes be deep in any sort of book that he could lay his hands on: if it were Rasselas or Gulliver, so much the better, but Bailey's Dictionary would do, or the Bible with the Apocrypha in it. Something he must read, when he was not riding the pony, or running and hunting, or listening to the talk of men. All this was true of him at ten years of age; he had then read through Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea, which was neither milk for babes, nor any chalky mixture meant to pass for milk, and it had already occurred to him that books were stuff, and that life was stupid.
George Eliot
The free market economy is supposed to be the only path leading to the happiness of humanity by promoting wealth and prosperity, power and influence of nations.
Omar Bongo
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
It feels quite cool, in a mad way, to be someone who skulks about in the shadows.
Peter Baynham
The story of a love is not important -- what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
I don't think any other holiday embraces the food of the Midwest quite like Thanksgiving. There's roasted meat and mashed potatoes. But being here is also about heritage. Cleveland is really a giant melting pot - not only is my family a melting pot, but so is the city.
Michael Symon
If you rest, you rust.
In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.
Judy Garland
He serves his party best who serves his country best.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Journey with me to a true commitment to our environment. Journey with me to the serenity of leaving to our children a planet in equilibrium.
Paul Tsongas
All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they really happened and after you are finished reading one you feel that it all happened to you and after which it all belongs to you.
Ernest Hemingway
Economics is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no accident. The inherent difficulties of the subject would be great enough in any case, but they are multiplied a thousandfold by a factor that is insignificant in , say, physics, mathematics, or medicine -- the special pleading of selfish interests.
Henry Hazlitt
Jessica Simpson is the youth ambassador for Operation Smile, and an episode of The Apprentice featured a team managing a charity concert she put on. Donald Trump came on stage and pledged a donation.
Roma Downey
To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
William Hazlitt
Experimentation is an active science.
Claude Bernard
People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that's not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.
Jodi Picoult
The worst old age is that of the mind.
Life is the art of being well deceived.
Cunning is the art of concealing our own defects, and discovering the weaknesses of others.
Guys like Henry and his buddies were an accident waiting to happen; the little kids' version of floods or tornadoes or gallstones.
Stephen King
Reflection makes men cowards.
My feeling is that labels are for canned food... I am what I am - and I know what I am.
Michael Stipe
A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means.
'Tis education forms the common mind just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined.
Alexander Pope
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
Brian Eno
It is hard for any one to be an honest politician who is not born and bred a Dissenter.
There never was a man with such a face as yours, unless it was your father, and I suppose is singeing his grizzled red beard by this time, unless you came straight from the old un without any father at all betwixt you; which I shouldn't wonder at, a bit.
Charles Dickens
