When it comes to housework the one thing no book of household management can ever tell you is how to begin. Or maybe I mean why.

A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.

Bernard Le Bovier Fontenelle

Criticism is only words about words, and of what use are words about such words as these?

G. K. Chesterton

For the last five years, we have been presented with the idea that Barack Obama is superhuman. Barack Obama is unlike any of us or anyone else. And he isn't. In fact, he's much less achieved and much less accomplished than most who have gotten half as far as he has, and I think maybe what we saw was the best.

Rush Limbaugh

Under the general name of Commodity, I rank all those advantages which our senses owe to nature. This, of course, is a benefit which is temporary and mediate, not ultimate, like its service to the soul. Yet although low, it is perfect in its kind, and is the only use of nature which all men apprehend. The misery of man appears like childish petulance, when we explore the steady and prodigal provision that has been made for his support and delight on this green ball which floats him through the heavens. What angels invented these splendid ornaments, these rich conveniences, this ocean of air above, this ocean of water beneath, this firmament of earth between? this zodiac of lights, this tent of dropping clouds, this striped coat of climates, this fourfold year? Beasts, fire, water, stones, and corn serve him. The field is at once his floor, his work-yard, his play-ground, his garden, and his bed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Commodity,

Interest in business ethics courses has surged, and student activities at leading business schools are more focused than ever before on making business serve long-term social values.

Peter Singer

Find the human in the technology. The currency marketers trade in has not changed even if the methods have. Emotion is what we exchange.

Simon Mainwaring

War is the business of barbarians.

Napoleon Bonaparte

I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends.

J.K. Rowling

From coast to coast, the FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission have ensnared people not only at hedge funds, but at technology and pharmaceutical companies, consulting and law firms, government agencies, and even a major stock exchange.

Preet Bharara

We cannot live, suffer or die for somebody else, for suffering is too precious to be shared.

Edward Dahlberg

From kindergarten to graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world.

Dick Cheney

Pay no attention to haters,attention is what they crave.
