You can see my guns at my apartment. The safe room is a special place... It's good to have a safe room in your house. It's storm-proof we've got food, store supplies, all kinds of stuff.

I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.

Jackie Robinson

If it's a penny for your thoughts and you put in your two cents worth, then someone, somewhere is making a penny.

Steven Wright

All that we call sacred history attests that the birth of a poet is the principal event in chronology.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

No Geologist worth anything is permanently bound to a desk or laboratory, but the charming notion that true science can only be based on unbiased observation of nature in the raw is mythology. Creative work, in geology and anywhere else, is interaction and synthesis: half-baked ideas from a bar room, rocks in the field, chains of thought from lonely walks, numbers squeezed from rocks in a laboratory, numbers from a calculator riveted to a desk, fancy equipment usually malfunctioning on expensive ships, cheap equipment in the human cranium, arguments before a road cut.

Stephen Jay Gould

I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man who is open to a lot of different things and I think that questioning our purpose in life and the meaning of existence is something that we all go through at some point.

Laurence Fishburne

For to fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise without really being wise, for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For no one knows whether death may not be the greatest good that can happen to man.

Plato

The Peace Corps would give thousands of young Americans a chance to see at first hand the conditions in remote areas of the world.

Sargent Shriver

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Pablo Picasso

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.

Mahatma Gandhi

The legacy of Steve Jobs and the strength of Steve Jobs is that he established a company that's clearly firing on all cylinders and clicking very well.

Al-Waleed bin Talal

Sympathizing and selfish people are alike, both given to tears.

Leigh Hunt

Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.

Finley Peter Dunne
