A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but an old dog has few associates.

Saul Williams
Respect for right conduct is felt by every body.
Jane Austen
You have had a dream for so many years. Let today be the day you make a plan for it. Just think about how much more likely you are to hit your target when you finally aim at it.

Obama has seen to the passage of the most radical legislation in recent American history and so-called 'progressives' should be thanking him for it - even as many of the rest of us rear in horror from its implications.
John Podhoretz
The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation.
Kahlil Gibran
We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations.
Albert Einstein
The aggressive, unprovoked acts of violence against Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas are revealing. It is clear they don't want peace, but rather seek the ultimate destruction of Israel.
John Boehner
We know the threats - from global terrorist networks to the spread of deadly weapons. Yet we also know that embedded in this time of danger is the promise of a new day, if we have the courage and commitment to work together.
Valerie Jarrett
I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.
Thomas Jefferson
Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win -- essential to success.
Napoleon Hill
I went to a gay bar, they wanted proof of sex so I showed them, they said it wasn't enough.
Rodney Dangerfield
To her audience, Janis Joplin has remained a symbol, artifact and reminder of late Sixties youth culture. Her popularity never derived from her musical ability, but from her capacity to link her fantasies of freedom and immortality with ours.
Jon Landau
My strength is as the strength of ten. Because my heart is pure.
Alfred Tennyson
The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.
Much of Indian science seems intuitive and not bound by the rigid thinking of classical scientists.
Roland Joffe
What is man in nature? Nothing in relation to the infinite, all in relation to nothing, a mean between nothing and everything
Blaise Pascal
Fantasy - the ability to envisage the world in many different ways - is one of the skills that makes us human.
Terry Pratchett
Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.
William Ralph Inge
I've had a great experience with pretty much everybody I've worked with.
Mia Wasikowska
Were it good, To set the exact wealth of all our states All at one cast? To set so rich a main On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour? It were not good
William Shakespeare
I think politicians get hamstrung by the nature of politics when the private sector can really do great things.
Henry Rollins
The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.
Edsger Dijkstra
For any happiness, even in this world, quite a lot of restraint is going to be necessary...
C.S. Lewis
Give thanks for what you are today and go on fighting for what you gone be tomorrow
A great many people seem to think writing poetry is worthwhile, even though it pays next to nothing and is not as widely read as it should be.
Mark Strand
One might come up with other and kinder distinctions (I shall not be doing so) but the plain fact about the senator from New York is surely that she is a known quantity who has already been in the White House purely as the result of a relationship with a man, and not at all a quixotic outsider who represents the aspirations of an 'out' group, let alone a whole sex or gender.
Christopher Hitchens
For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.
H. L. Mencken
Writing laws is easy, but governing is difficult.
Leo Tolstoy
I've made movies that I thought were good. I've made movies that I thought were okay, but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think, I wish more people saw that - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.
Christopher Walken
It was not for the sake of oil that the risky decision to cease this corrupt coexistence was made. But at least now the Iraqi people have a chance of controlling their own main resource, and it will be our task to ensure that the funding and revenue are transparent instead of opaque.
Well, there's just some universal truths in a way that I've just observed to be true. You read Voltaire. You read modern literature. Anywhere you go, there's these observations about romantic love and what it does people, and these rotten feelings that rarely are people meaning to do that to each other.
Feist
The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them
Henry David Thoreau
Vaccination is the medical sacrament corresponding to baptism. Whether it is or is not more efficacious I do not know.
Samuel Butler
For industry to settle in a country, you first need electricity for electricity, you need some trained workers for trained workers, you need some schools for schools you need some money for money, you need some industry.
Evan Davis
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
Carl Jung
