When the entertainers of the Right aren't declaring their disgust with President Obama for groveling before foreign potentates, they're pretending to fear him as a left-wing thug, an exemplar of what they call 'the Chicago way.'

Never speak of yourself to others; make them talk about themselves instead; therein lies the whole art of pleasing. Everybody knows it, and everyone forgets it.

Edmond de Goncourt

There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one: keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy.

Mark Twain

Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.

Stephen Leacock

We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.

Jeff Warner

The future looks extremely bright indeed, with lots of possibilities ahead -- big possibilities. Like the song says, We've just begun.

Bruce Lee

Reading feeds the soul, writing nourishes it!

J.C. McClean

There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top. I'm 20 years old. I was in a relationship with a girl I love for three years. Where do you go after three years? Then you've got to start thinking about other things, and I'm too young to think about those things.

Shia LaBeouf

Friendship should be more than biting time can sever.

TS (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

Plato

We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.

Barbara Jordan

Great minds think alike.

Anon.

I felt a wish never to leave that room - a wish that dawn might never come, that my present frame of mind might never change.

Leo Tolstoy
