At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.

When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.

Oscar Wilde

Michael Jordan

Santosh Kalwar

Gore Vidal

There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train,But one by one we must all file onThrough the narrow aisles of pain.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Solitude (l

In some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.

Martin Luther King Jr.

The civil rights movement was based on faith. Many of us who were participants in this movement saw our involvement as an extension of our faith. We saw ourselves doing the work of the Almighty. Segregation and racial discrimination were not in keeping with our faith, so we had to do something.

John Lewis

This shirt is dry clean only. Which means... it's dirty.

Mitch Hedberg

Only those who spread treachery, fire, and death out of hatred for the prosperity of others are undeserving of pity.

Jose Marti

It's hard to have a bad hair day when you're famous.

Marion Jones

Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times.
