I confess I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing.

Life has never been easy. Nor is it meant to be. It is a matter of being joyous in the face of sorrow.

Dirk Benedict

Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one's privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.

Barbara Ehrenreich

It is very natural for young men to be vehement, acrimonious and severe. For as they seldom comprehend at once all the consequences of a position, or perceive the difficulties by which cooler and more experienced reasoners are restrained from confidence, they form their conclusions with great precipitance. Seeing nothing that can darken or embarrass the question, they expect to find their own opinion universally prevalent, and are inclined to impute uncertainty and hesitation to want of honesty, rather than of knowledge.

Samuel Johnson

I am able to follow my own death step by step. Now I move softly towards the end.

Pope John XXIII

Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you.

Langston Hughes

But now seeing that great knowledge, while good, had not saved the world, he turned in penance to the Lord, crying.

Walter Miller

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained in sudden flight but, they while their companions slept, they were toiling upwards in the night.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.

Joni Mitchell

Time has no meaning,Love will endure..

Jude Deveraux

Fullness of knowledge always means some understanding of the depths of our ignorance and that is always conducive to humility and reverence.

Robert Millikan

The great and important duty which is incumbent on Christians, is to guard against all appearance of evil to watch against the first risings in the heart to evil and to have a guard upon our actions, that they may not be sinful, or so much as seem to be so.

George Whitefield

Is there anything more dangerous than sympathetic understanding?

Pablo Picasso
