I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways

William Shakespeare

I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a big buffet in the shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about what kind of food you want, and the table would move across the floor to it.

Steven Wright

You have to believe in yourself, that's the secret. Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.

Charlie Chaplin, In Reader's Dig

The heartbeat of a football team is the quarterback position and I think everyone who has any intelligence about the game understands you must have consistency at that position to be a championship team.

Ron Jaworski

Excellence is best described as doing the right things right -- selecting the most important things to be done and then accomplishing them 100% correctly.

I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.

Trey Parker

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York, And all the clouds that loured upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them, Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun.

William Shakespeare

Exclusion is never the way forward on our shared paths to freedom and justice.

Desmond Tutu

Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give lustre, and many more people see than weigh.

Herodotus

He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity.

William Samuel Johnson

Liberty is being free from the things we don't like in order to be slaves of the things we do like.

Ernest Benn

I would love to see a march on Washington that says 'Save our Social Security'.
