In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

I've been such an oddball my whole life, but I've always been cool and I've always dressed fairly smartly.

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a dehumidifier...I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.

Steven Wright

You can't control the paparazzi. But if you go to Coachella you're going to get photographed. Whereas if you're at home, walking down the street you probably won't. It's something I've learnt to navigate my way around but I try to keep my private life private.

Ashley Greene

Although born in a prosperous realm, we did not believe that its boundaries should limit our knowledge, and that the lore of the East should alone enlighten us.

Charles de Secondat

It's a noir world. Unfair things happen.

Rob Thomas

I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friendswent to the funeral in one car.

Steven Wright

What has once happened, will invariably happen again, when the same circumstances which combined to produce it, shall again combine in the same way.

Abraham Lincoln

I reckon responsible behavior is something to get when you grow older. Like varicose veins.

Terry Pratchett

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

Chuck Palahniuk

My view was that every executive officer, and above all every executive officer in high position, was a steward of the people bound actively and affirmatively to do all he could for the people, and not to content himself with the negative merit of keeping his talents undamaged in a napkin. I declined to adopt the view that what was imperatively necessary for the Nation could not be done by the President unless he could find some specific authorization to do it. My belief was that it was not only his right but his duty to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by the laws. Under this interpretation of executive power I did and caused to be done many things not previously done by the President and the heads of the departments. I did not usurp power, but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power. In other words, I acted for the public welfare, I acted for the common well-being of all our people, whenever and in whatever manner was necessary, unless prevented by direct constitutional or legislative prohibition.

Theodore Roosevelt

Punctuality is the soul of business.

Thomas C. Haliburton

I had a fear that I'd be typecast, but I don't really have that fear anymore.
