Alexis de Tocqueville
The world of politics is always twenty years behind the world of thought.
John Jay Chapman
Our moral economy went bankrupt long before our financial one and must be made prosperous.
Steve Maraboli
Older fatherhood isn't all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age, making them less reactive and more patient, and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something who's just getting started.
Jeffrey Kluger
Art is not, as the metaphysicians say, the manifestation of some mysterious idea of beauty or God; it is not, as the aesthetical physiologists say, a game in which man lets off his excess of stored-up energy; it is not the expression of man's emotions by external signs; it is not the production of pleasing objects; and, above all, it is not pleasure; but it is a means of union among men, joining them together in the same feelings, and indispensable for the life and progress toward well-being of individuals and of humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
I think if there's any difference between me and a traditional CEO, it's that I've been unwilling to change myself or shape my personality around what's expected.
Andrew Mason
Educational equality doesn't guarantee equality on the labor market. Even the most developed countries are not gender-equal. There are still glass ceilings and 'leaky pipelines' that prevent women from getting ahead in the workplace.
Michelle Bachelet
Contempt for happiness is usually contempt for other people's happiness, and is an elegant disguise for hatred of the human race
Bertrand Russell

Obama has no solutions. Obama has failed the country and its great citizens, and they don't like it when somebody such as myself speaks the truth about this - it hurts too much.

The rights and interests of the laboring man will be protected and cared for, not by the labor agitators, but by the Christian men to whom God in His infinite wisdom has given control of the property interests of the country.

Alexander Payne
Action is the antidote to despair.
Joan Baez
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now.
You never know what's going to happen. My mother was an English teacher. If someone had told her that I was going to write a book, she would never have believed that. So you can never say never.
Tony Dungy
The Lord had given them the day and the Lord had given them the strength. And the day and the strength had been dedicated to labor, and the labor was its reward. Who was the labor for? What would be its fruits? These were irrelevant and idle questions.
Nonviolence is a flop. The only bigger flop is violence.
Men are going to go out on the road and they're going to find other women. So if you really want to save yourself a whole lot of heartache, do not fall in love with somebody in a band. Just don't.
Stevie Nicks
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.

Thomas Jefferson
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.
They were so good that you just had to sing the song to them once and they got it. It's amazing. Sometimes it didn't come out the way you wanted, but it was good.
Chris LeDoux
There's one thing you can say for air pollution, you get utterly amazing sunrises.
Terry Pratchett
So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism -- despotism during the campaign -- is indispensable.
Walter Bagehot
Y'know, the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.
