When I was about 12 and first started wearing lipstick, my dad would ask, 'Are you wearing makeup?' I would say back, 'You're wearing more makeup there than I am!'

We must build a new world, a far better world -- one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.

Harry S Truman

It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom.

Quentin Crisp

The wise man will follow a star, low and large and fierce in the heavens, but the nearer he comes to it the smaller and smaller it will grow,till he finds it the humble lantern over some little inn or stable. Not till we know the high things shall we know how lovely they are.

G.K. Chesterton

A clever person solves a problem; a wise person uses Cosmic Ordering!

Stephen Richards

A half truth, like half a brick, is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better.

Stephen Leacock

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

Jim Rohn

The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions.

Adlai Stevenson

In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.

Wendell Willkie

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I do not die.

Mary Elizabeth Frye

Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

Frank Leahy

Men do not know the natural infirmity of their mind: it does nothing but ferret and quest, and keeps incessantly whirling around, building up and becoming entangled in its own work, like silkworms, and is suffocated in it. A mouse in a pitch barrel...thinks it notices from a distance some sort of glimmer of imaginary light and truth; but while running toward it, it is crossed by so many difficulties and obstacles, and diverted by so many new quests, that it strays from the road, bewildered.

Michel de Montaigne

Modernist discourse [...] incorporates semantic devices - such as the labeling of theism as 'religion' and naturalism as 'science' - that work to prevent a dangerous debate over fundamental assumptions from breaking out in the open.

Phillip E. Johnson
