Don't be condescending to unskilled labor. Try it for a half a day first.

Good ideas are a dime a dozen, bad ones are free.

Thomas Nagel

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men, than men upon governments. Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad; if it be ill, they will cure it. But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn.

William Penn

It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.

Mark Twain

Peter Singer

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

I didn't really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself. I never in my wildest dreams expected this popularity.

J. K. Rowling

Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

Earl Nightingale
