If any country was a mine-shaft canary for the reintroduction of cholera, it was Haiti - and we knew it.

I've lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.

Mark Twain

You had no right to be born for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength.

Charlotte Bronte

All I know is just what I read in the papers.

Will Rogers

You know everyone loves to be the villain.

Hugh Grant

All truly great art is optimistic. The individual artist is happy in his creative work. The fact that practically all great art is tragic does not in any way change the above thesis.

Upton Sinclair

Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked ladies. Women's magazines also often feature pictures of naked ladies. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day.

Richard Roeper

Survival is triumph enough.

Harry Crews

The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

The more specific and measurable your goal, the more quickly you will be able to identify, locate, create, and implement the use of the necessary resources for its achievement.

Charles J. Givens

The world is seldom what it seems to man, who dimly sees, realities appear as dreams, and dreams realities.

Samuel Johnson

If you really want change, you really want it to be inclusive, where everyone's included, otherwise you're just going to have more of the same in the future.

There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.

C.S. Lewis
