Building a little bonfire at night on the beach and lying on a blanket with my wife under the stars is not only sexy, it's romantic.

America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that's 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We're in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.

Thomas Mcguane

I can't find my car keys in the morning. Trying to get out of my house is a nightmare. 'Where's my wallet? Where are my keys? I have to go find a missing person.'

Anthony LaPaglia

Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.

Ronald Reagan

A person with a flexible schedule and average resources will be happier than a rich person who has everything except a flexible schedule.

Scott Adams

Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God, or several signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer, some standing nearer, some further off.

Ralph J. Cudworth

Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.

Charles Eames

I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights.I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

Steven Wright

The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous, on the contrary, it makes them for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people bitter and cruel.

W. Somerset Maugham

A politician is an animal which can sit on a fence and yet keep both ears to the ground.

H. L. Mencken

I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.

Geddy Lee

Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate,no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament.It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.

Joseph Addison

We love but once, for once only are we perfectly equipped for loving.

Cyril Connolly
