Humor has been a fashioning instrument in America, cleaving its way through the national life, holding tenaciously to the spread elements of that life. Its mode has often been swift and coarse and ruthless, beyond art and beyond established civilization. It has engaged in warfare against the established heritage, against the bonds of pioneer existence. Its objective --the unconscious objective of a disunited people --has seemed to be that of creating fresh bonds, a new unity, the semblance of a society and the rounded completion of an American type.
Constance Rourke
An emotional man may possess no humor, but a humorous man usually has deep pockets of emotion, sometimes tucked away or forgotten.
In comedy, reconcilement with life comes at the point when to the tragic sense only an inalienable difference or dissension with life appears.
I thought my talent would transcend my outspokenness. I was wrong.
Mickey Rourke
Would you kick an opponent when he was down? Yes, if I thought he might get up.

The worst cliques are those which consist of one man.
George Bernard Shaw
Everything seems fine until you're about 40. Then something is definitely beginning to go wrong. And you look in the mirror with your old habit of thinking, 'While I accept that everyone grows old and dies, it's a funny thing, but I'm an exception to that rule.'
Martin Amis
You just can't complain about being alive. It's self-indulgent to be unhappy. When asked how she has coped since husband's death.
Gena Rowland
This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.
Bob Dylan
Failing to be there when a man wants her is a woman's greatest sin, except to be there when he doesn't want her.
Helen Rowland
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
Leo Buscaglia
France may claim the happiest marriages in the world, but the happiest divorces in the world are made in America.
Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
Stop relying only on technology.Technology can help the qualified, well-trained human being but cannot replace him.
Isaac Yeffet
I am delighted with the strong vote I have received. My message of positive leadership, patriotism and commitment clearly was resonating with tens of thousands of ordinary Irish people.
Michael D. Higgins
If co-operation is a duty, I hold that non-co-operation also under certain conditions is equally a duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
I'm not going chic, I swear. The geek endures. But, I mean, a snazzy cool suit looks good.
Jon Heder
Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity.
Andrew Cohen
everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait . . . there is nothing stronger than these two: patience and time, they will do it all.
Leo Tolstoy
Patience was not my strong point.
Lauren Bacall
Victor eyed the glistening tubes in the tray around Dibbler's neck. They smelled appetizing. They always did. And then you bit into them, and learned once again that Cut-me-own-Throat Dibbler could find a use for bits of an animal that the animal didn't know it had got. Dibbler had worked out that with enough fried onions and mustard people would eat anything.
Terry Pratchett
They (the days) come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There's a pizza place near where I live that sells only slices. in the back you can see a guy tossing a triangle in the air.
Steven Wright
The Middle East is ailing. The malady stems from pervasive violence, shortages of food, water and educational opportunities, discrimination against women and - the most virulent cause of all - the absence of freedom.
Shimon Peres
Poverty - it is life near the bone, where it is sweetest
Henry David Thoreau
As for methods of prayer, all are good, as long as they are sincere.
Victor Hugo
However, he wrote some verses on her, and very pretty they were. And so ended his affection, said Elizabeth impatiently. There has been many a one, I fancy, overcome in the same way. I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love! I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love, said Darcy. Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.
Jane Austen
Values are principles and ideas that bring meaning to the seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires you to respond to temptations as well as challenges with honor, dignity, and courage.
Laura Schlessinger
My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.
John Astin
only made billionaires out of millionaires. is making trillionaires out of billionaires. Now I call that progress.
Kurt Vonnegut
Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup.
Sara Teasdale
Our culture promotes individuality, while the Amish are deeply entrenched in community. To us, if someone stands out, it's no big deal because diversity is respected and expected. To the Amish, there's no room for deviation from the norm. It's important to fit in, because that similarity of identity is what defines the society. If you don't fit in, the consequences are psychological tragic, you stand alone when all you've ever known is being part of the group.
Jodi Picoult
So little done, so much to do.
Cecil Rhodes
Literature is the Thought of thinking Souls.
