I have faith in the justice system, and what will happen will happen. I'm just trying to do the right thing.

It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.

Bertrand Russell

When Ronald Reagan's career in show business came to an end, he was hired to impersonate, first, a California governor and then an American president who would reduce taxes for his employers, the Southern and Western New Rich, much of whose money came from the defence industries. There is nothing unusual about this arrangement. All recent presidents have had their price-tags.

Gore Vidal, Armageddon? (essay),

The one thing that the President can do is to establish a real energy independence plan. We have all the recources we need right here in this country to establish energy independence if we had the leadership.

Herman Cain

Ashamed of the many frailties they feel within, all men endeavor to hide themselves, their ugly nakedness, from each other, and wrapping up the true motives of their hearts in the specious cloak of sociableness, and their concern for the public good, they are in hopes of concealing their filthy appetites and the deformity of their desires.

Bernard Mandeville

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Science is but an image of the truth.

Francis Bacon

Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.

Voltaire (FrançoisMarie Arouet)

In a sense it might even be said that our failure is to form habits: for, after all, habit is relative to a stereotyped world, and meantime it is only the roughness of the eye that makes two persons, things, situations, seem alike.

Walter Pater

Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.

Benjamin Franklin

My grandson sees me as Lois on TV every Christmas, and that scores me points.

Margot Kidder

Right human relations is the only true peace.

Alice A. Bailey

IT is mere coincidence that Cooper was born in the year which produced The Power of Sympathy and that when he died Uncle Tom's Cabin was passing through its serial stage, and yet the limits of his life mark almost exactly the first great period of American fiction.
