The difference between the men and the boys in politics is, and always has been, that the boys want to be something, while the men want to do something.

It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.

Chinese Proverb

There is nothing so stupid as an educated man, if you get him off the thing he was educated in.

Will Rogers

My eyes went straight to a soft woman who sat facing the wrong way at the bar top. Soft, because I knew if I were to touch her skin, it would feel like a peach, the kind of woman you could almost smell from inside the building. Instead of facing Andy, she had her back to him, keeping an eye on the door. That must be her. Her hair was exquisite. She was really the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. A golden crown of braids and curls complimented her sun-kissed skin. Her dress draped perfectly over her body, and in that moment, I needed her more than I needed air.

Chelsie Shakespeare

Love pull your sore ribs in. I will pull your tangles out.

Sara Quin

Anyone who seeks to be involved in politics should join hands with America.

Muqtada al Sadr

It would be nice if the poor were to get even half of the money that is spent in studying them.

Bill Vaughan

Scandal is an importunate wasp, against which we must make no movement unless we are quite sure that we can kill it; otherwise it will return to the attack more furious than ever.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort
