The Constitution gives every American the inalienable right to make a damn fool of himself.

I was young and foolish then; now I am old and foolisher.

Mark Twain

When you're young, you think it's going to be solved by love. But it never is. Being close-as close as you can get-to another person only makes it clear the impassable distance between you.

Nicole Krauss

Man is manacled only by himself; thought and action are the jailers of Fate.

James Allen

The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not.

George Michael

In every song I write, whether it's a love song or a political song or a song about family, the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way.

Billie Joe Armstrong

If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit.

Oprah Winfrey

All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.

Angelina Jolie

In every journey comes a moment... one like no other. And in that moment, you must decide between who you are... and who you want to be.

J.C. Marino

I make a fortune from criticizing the policy of the government, and then hand it over to the government in taxes to keep it going

George Bernard Shaw

The greatest right in the world is the right to be wrong. If the Government or majorities think an individual is right, no one will interfere with him; but when agitators talk against the things considered holy, or when radicals criticise, or satirize the political gods, or question the justice of our laws and institutions, or pacifists talk against war, how the old inquisition awakens, and ostracism, the excommunication of the church, the prison, the wheel, the torture-chamber, the mob, are called to suppress the free expression of thought.

Harry Weinberger, "The Evening P

There is only one thing more harmful to society than an elected official forgetting the promises he made in order to get elected that's when he doesn't forget them.

John McCarthy

Hypocrisy is the most difficult and nerve-racking vice that any man can pursue; it needs an unceasing vigilance and a rare detachment of spirit. It cannot, like adultery or gluttony, be practiced at spare moments; it is a whole-time job.

W. Somerset Maugham
