The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

Woe to you, my Princess, when I come... you shall see who is the stronger, a gentle little girl who doesn't eat enough or a big wild man who has cocaine in his body.

Sigmund Freud

Philosophy is doubt.

Michel de Montaigne

The failure wishes he could do things he could never do. He thinks little of what he can do.

Mark Caine

If in other sciences we should arrive at certainty without doubt and truth without error, it behooves us to place the foundations of knowledge in mathematics...

Roger Bacon

America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true.

James T. Farrell

Now, there are some who would like to rewrite history - revisionist historians is what I like to call them.

George W. Bush

During the 1992 election I concluded as early as my first visit to New Hampshire that Bill Clinton was hateful in his behavior to women, pathological as a liar, and deeply suspect when it came to money in politics. I have never had to take any of that back, whereas if you look up what most of my profession was then writing about the beefy, unscrupulous 'New Democrat,' you will be astonished at the quantity of sheer saccharine and drool. Anyway, I kept on about it even after most Republicans had consulted the opinion polls and decided it was a losing proposition, and if you look up the transcript of the eventual Senate trial of the president only the second impeachment hearing in American history you will see that the last order of business is a request (voted down) by the Senate majority leader to call Carol and me as witnesses. So I can dare to say that at least I saw it through.

Christopher Hitchens

Perhaps we're too embarrassed to change or too frightened of the consequences of showing that we actually care. But why not risk it anyway? Begin Today. Carry out a random act of seemingly senseless kindness, with no expectation or reward or punishment. Safe in the knowledge that one day, someone somewhere might do the same for you.

Princess of Wales Diana

That might have a lot to do with it, but you know, I probably don't show fear, but I suffer from fear like everyone else.

Steve Irwin

I don't pretend to understand the Universe -- it's a great deal bigger than I am.

Thomas Carlyle

Tobey's a mellow, cool guy. He's just a good guy. I know that's not the answer you want, and I don't mean that as the political thing to say, but he's a nice guy.

Neil Patrick Harris

It is impossible to persuade a man who does not disagree, but smiles.

Muriel Spark
