Stephen Colbert

Love cures people -- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.

Karl Menninger

We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear those words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never heard a real American talk in that manner.

Frank Hague

We have to be thankful to the Czechs that they did their duty. The Czech Republic won, I can't believe it. It was a huge party with all the people here.

Ruud van Nistelrooy

Do not say things. What you are stands over you the while and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.

Gerard Manley Hopkins
