Elijah went before the people and said, How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him. But the people said nothing. 1 Kings 18:21

Those services which the community will most readily pay for it is most disagreeable to render. You are paid for being something less than a man.

Henry David Thoreau

A man should ever be ready booted to take his journey.

Michel de Montaigne

That man is good who does good to others; if he suffers on account of the good he does, he is very good; if he suffers at the hands of those to whom he has done good, then his goodness is so great that it could be enhanced only by greater sufferings; and if he should die at their hands, his virtue can go no further: it is heroic, it is perfect.

Jean de la Bruyere

If you are a reliable, honest journalist, sources will open up and trust you and share good information.

Wolf Blitzer

Each in the most hidden sack keptthe lost jewels of memory,intense love, secret nights and permanent kisses,the fragment of public or private happiness.A few, the wolves, collected thighs,other men loved the dawn scratchingmountain ranges or ice floes, locomotives, numbers.For me happiness was to share singing,praising, cursing, crying with a thousand eyes.I ask forgiveness for my bad ways:my life had no use on earth.

Pablo Neruda

Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.

Allan Massie

Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength.

Eric Hoffer

Travelling makes a man wiser, but less happy.

Thomas Jefferson

Some women hold up dresses that are so ugly and they always say the same thing: 'This looks much better on.' On what? On fire?

Rita Rudner

The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing, that rush of adrenaline.

Lee Westwood

They are wrong who think that politics is like an ocean voyage or a military campaign, something to be done with some particular end in view, something which leaves off as soon as that end is reached. It is not a public chore, to be got over with. It is a way of life. It is the life of a domesticated political and social creature who is born with a love for public life, with a desire for honor, with a feeling for his fellows; and it lasts as long as need be.

Plutarch

I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.

Meryl Streep
