The English think they are free. They are free only during the election of members of parliament.

Without haste, but without rest.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one.

Vladimir Nabokov

I got stuck up a tree when I was about seven, and my dad had to come and get the ladder to get me down. I loved to climb all the way up to the top. I must have been a koala in my past life.

Miranda Kerr

Humor is merely tragedy standing on its head with its pants torn.

Irvin S. Cobb

I've had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise I've been incredibly lucky with my fitness. I've worked hard at it and I've always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career, but I am 36.

Graeme Le Saux

All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years.

Abraham Lincoln

Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.

Sylvia Porter

On completely popular government: Its superiority in reference to present well-being rests upon two principles, of as universal truth and applicability as any general propositions which can be laid down respecting human affairs. The first is, that the rights and interests of every or any person are only secure from being disregarded, when the person interested is himself able, and habitually disposed, to stand up for them. The second is, that the general prosperity attains a greater height, and is more widely diffused, in proportion to the amount and variety of the personal energies enlisted in promoting it.

John Stuart Mill

My first meeting as a senator, my first day, they were already talking about the next election. Part of that's the permanent campaign, part of that's a word I've been using more frequently, 'tribal.' Our politics has become tribal: It's us versus them.

Evan Bayh

I have been extremely pleased to support the Trust's work in the Lupus Unit ever since. Personal experience also motivated me to become involved to help raise the awareness of the disease and hopefully thereby improve the speed of diagnosis.

Elaine Paige

Dire .. que l'homme est constitué de certains éléments chimiques est une description ne convenant qu'? ceux dont l'intention est de l'utiliser comme engrais.

Edmund W. Sinnott

Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.

Thomas Hobbes
