If you don't ask, you don't get.

There are no ideas in the Republican Party right now in the Congress. They're the party of no. They desperately need some intellectual leadership. And whatever you think of Newt Gingrich, he can supply intellectual leadership. So I hope he does run.

My mother taught me that when you stand in the truth and someone tells a lie about you, don't fight it.

Whitney Houston

At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice, he is the worst.

Aristotle

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

C.S. Lewis

I don't feel any pressure. I just try to stay calm, follow my game plan and try not to overthrown.

Dwight Gooden

One drop has just fallen.It is a precious moment, and one that is full of poignancy. In surrendering to gravity and slipping off the leaf, the drop loses its previous identity and joins the vastness of the water below. We can imagine that it must have trembled before it fell, just on the edge between the known and the unknowable.

Osho [Chandra Mohan Jain], The Z

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Milton Friedman

As to those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in God's path, give them, then, the tidings of a painful agony: on a day when these things shall be heated in hell-fire, and their foreheads, and their sides, and their backs shall be branded therewith.

Kin Hubbard

Prosperity or egalitarianism -- you have to choose. I favor freedom -- you never achieve real equality anyway: you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion.

Mario Vargas Llosa

I believe life is an intelligent thing that things aren't random!

Steve Jobs
