Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
Money is the sinews of love, as of war.
George Farquhar
A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
Ernest Hemingway
To do all that one is able to do, is to be a man to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Those who know the least obey the best.

Simon Mainwaring
Hope might grant you a wish in the nick of time, Cosmic Ordering grants them all the time.
Stephen Richards
Poetry is a mere drug, Sir.
There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.
Harry Crews
There's no scandal like rags, nor any crime so shameful as poverty.
Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.
Ronald Reagan
I believe they talked of me, for they laughed consumedly.
In our family, mom and dad are Longhorns, our first two kids are Aggies and we're hoping our last one is a Longhorn. It gives us family fun on Thanksgiving Day.
Bob Wells
Grant me some wild expressions, Heavens, or I shall burst.
An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.
Jean Cocteau
We love the precepts for the teacher's sake.
My father invented a cure for which there was no disease and unfortunately my mother caught it and died of it.
Victor Borge
I am no romantic glorifier of the Spanish woman, nor did I ever think of a casual piece as anything much other than a casual piece in any country. But when I am with Maria I love her so that I feel, literally, as though I would die and I never believed in that or thought that it could happen.
Observe this, that tho a woman swear, forswear, lie, dissemble, back-bite, be proud, vain, malicious, anything, if she secures the main chance, she's still virtuous; that's a maxim.
I am not going to claim that modern anarchism has any direct relation to Roman jurisprudence but I do claim that it has its basis in the laws of nature rather than in the state of nature.
Herbert Read
Never praise your Cider, Horse, or Bedfellow
Benjamin Franklin
We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.
A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you wish to converse with me, define your terms
Voltaire
Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.
Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
Austin Farrar
As long as we're together, I'm ready for anything.
Cassandra Clare
I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.
Lucinda Williams
One's liberty should end when it becomes the curse of his neighbor.
Frederick Farrar
Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.
Jonathan Sacks
We tend to think of future inventions and discoveries, but in reality, these things already exist in the knowledge bank of the universe.
Do you suffer your thoughts to tamper with evil; and to dally with wrong-doing? If so; you are not sincere. God will regard your thoughts; for thoughts are heard in heaven. If you willingly sin in thought; if you are base and guilty there; because you think that no eye will see your thoughts; the guilt and baseness will sooner or later break into the outlets of word and deed -- from thought to wish -- from wish to purpose -- from purpose to word -- from word to act -- from act to habit -- from delight in the imagination to consent in the will -- from deed to repeated transgression; such is the genesis of sin.
There's always a part of your nation's history that you haven't been told that... has a powerful impact on how you yourself may behave and may believe.
Barbara Kingsolver
It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.
C.S. Lewis
No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. Oh, understand those two perverted word, failure and success and measure them by the eternal, not the earthly, standard. When after thirty obscure, toilsome, unrecorded years in the shop of the village carpenter, one came forth to be pre-eminently the man of sorrows, to wander from city to city in homeless labors, and to expire in lonely agony upon the shameful cross -- was that a failure.
The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.
The first thing an unpublished author should remember is that no one asked him to write in the first place. With this firmly in mind, he has no right to become discouraged just because other people are being published.
John Farrar
People are fed up with the politics where candidates just rip each other apart and then the voters lose in the end because no one really knows what anybody stands for.
Dennis Kucinich
Intellectual brilliance is no guarantee against being dead wrong.
David Fasold
With 'Bright Star' and with 'The Piano,' too, I felt a kind of sadness about it being in such a different era, because of my lack of experience with the era. And one of the ways I'd get over it is to remind myself that every film, even if it's contemporary, creates its own world.
Jane Campion
I remember committing myself to make it in the garbage business, whatever it takes!
