If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other, then somehow the original agenda has been lost.

Sherwood Boehlert

Most of us do not consciously look at movies.

Roger Ebert

There is no necessity to separate the monarch from the mob; all authority is equally bad.

Oscar Wilde

Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.

Where there are no women there are no good manners

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We didn't know how to run a business, but we had dreams and talent.

Ruth Handler

Is it easy? Usually not. But you don't forgive people for their benefit. You do it for your benefit.

Andrew Matthews

The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good.

Abraham Lincoln

Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain.

Mae West

We are the nation of human progress, and who will, what can, set limits to our onward march?

John L. O'Sullivan

Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.

George W. Bush
