Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know.

Country music has always sort of been country music.

Miranda Lambert

I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell.

Harry S Truman

War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.

Benito Mussolini

Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience.

Laurence J. Peter

Tut, tut. We can't let mere sentiment intrude. This is Science.

K.W. Jeter

No profession or occupation is more pleasing than the military; a profession or exercise both noble in execution (for the strongest, most generous and proudest of all virtues is true valor) and noble in its cause. No utility either more just or universal than the protection of the repose or defense of the greatness of one's country. The company and daily conversation of so many noble, young and active men cannot but be well-pleasing to you.

Michel de Montaigne

It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into, 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'

Colin Powell

To each man is reserved a work which he alone can do.

Susan Blow

I think we have become obsessed with beauty and personally I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.

Halle Berry

The fact that boys are allowed to exist at all is evidence of remarkable Christian forbearance among men--were it not for a mawkish humanitarianism, coupled with imperfect digestive powers, we should devour our young, as Nature intended.

Ambrose Bierce

I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was, you know, important

Dick Butkus

Love has no age, no limit and no death.

John Galsworthy
