It is faith among men that holds the moral elements of society together, as it is faith in God that binds the world to his throne.

Whoever is my relative, I will not be nice to them.

George Lopez

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

Jules Renard

Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.

Thomas Jefferson

He was nothing but a conduit, after all, and there isn't a culvert in the world that remembers the water flowed through it once the rain has stopped.

Stephen King

In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o clock in the morning, day after day.

Then holding the star aloft and the bright sword advanced, Frodo, hobbit of the Shire, walked steadily down to meet the eyes.

President Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history, and it has been because of the president's vision and courage.

Ken Salazar

Political image is like mixing cement. When it's wet, you can move it around and shape it, but at some point it hardens and there's almost nothing you can do to reshape it.

Walter F. Mondale

Trusting too much to others' care is the ruin of many

Benjamin Franklin

An idea is a feat of association, and the height of it is a good metaphor.

Robert Frost

The truth is that good ethics sometimes is good business, but sometimes it's not. It depends on one's goals and how one defines good business. Sometimes, good ethics can end in bankruptcy. Of course, so can bad ethics. A fairer statement is that good ethics can be a very powerful business asset and that good things tend to happen to companies and individuals that consistently do the right thing and bad things tend to happen to those that even occasionally do the wrong thing. But the crucial point is that the moral obligation to live according to ethical principles is not dependent on whether it's advantageous. People of character do the right thing in the pursuit of virtue, not self-interest.http://www.josephsoninstitute.org/business-ethics_commentaries.html

Where's the pleasure in bein' the winner if the loser ain't alive to know they've lost?
