I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.

The man who has accomplished all that he thinks worthwhile has begun to die.

E. T. Trigg

No one knows when they are well off.

Punch

Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing we are interested in here.

Leo Tolstoy

In winter, the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. Summer is more wooing and seductive, more versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and fosters inquiry and the art impulse.

John Burroughs

Accept business only at a price permitting thoroughness. Then do a thorough job, regardless of cost to us.

Arthur C. Nielsen

What I got which was unusual, especially as a child actress, was parents who believed that Hollywood was not that important. They told us education, family, health, all come first and they meant it.

Danica McKellar

Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.

Bernard Meltzer

We have treated our most serious adversaries, such as Iran and North Korea, in the most juvenile manner - by giving them the silent treatment. In so doing, we have weakened, not strengthened, our bargaining position and our leadership.

Theodore C. Sorensen

One doesn't intentionally to alter the truth, just enhance it and make it more memorable.

John H. Alexander

The more sympathy you give, the less you need.

Malcolm Forbes

I have had my mother's wing of my genetic ancestry analyzed by the tracing service and there it all is: the arrow moving northward from the African savannah, skirting the Mediterranean by way of the Levant, and passing through Eastern and Central Europe before crossing to the British Isles. And all of this knowable by an analysis of the cells on the inside of my mouth.I almost prefer the more rambling and indirect and journalistic investigation, which seems somehow less deterministic.

Christopher Hitchens

The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.

Blaise Pascal
