The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel.

Bill Murray

Change is inevitable. Change is constant.

Benjamin Disraeli

Folks, this government isn't too big to fail, it's too big to succeed.

Sarah Palin

Corrine Brown

I would take a bomb, but I can't stand the noise.

Joe E. Lewis
