Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.

If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.

Henry Kissinger

I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.

Mickey Kaus

Science views the blood-building and character-influencing ur-organism water merely as a chemical compound and provides millions of people with a liquid prepared from this point of view, which is everything but healthy water.

Viktor Schauberger

Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars.

Anwar Sadat

I don't know much about auctions. I sometimes go to previews and see art sardined into ugly rooms. I've gawked at the gaudy prices, and gaped at well-clad crowds of happy white people conspicuously spending hundreds of millions of dollars.

Jerry Saltz

In an attempt to amuse my friends and family, I would do impressions of Dean Martin, singing Everybody Loves Somebody. I secretly really enjoyed singing the song.

Peter Gallagher

Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals.

Edward Thorndike

We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.

James Madison

Men were only made into men with great difficulty even in primitive society: the male is not naturally a man any more than the woman. He has to be propped up into that position with some ingenuity, and is always likely to collapse.

Percy Wynham Lewis

There is always frustration from people who work in schools that things keep changing but it is an unfortunate truth with the world of work changing as rapidly as it is, we do have to change.

Jim Knight

There is a perennial and unobtrusive view that morality consists in such things as telling the truth, paying one's debts, respecting one's parents and doing no voluntary harm to anyone. Those are all things easy to say and hard to do; they do not attract much attention, and win little honor in the world.

Allan Bloom

Writing in English is the most ingenious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives. The English reading public explains the reason why.

James Joyce
