Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

It is a great act of cleverness to be able to conceal one's being clever.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

There are always those who think they know what is your responsibility better than you do.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing is worth dying for, when did this begin...? ...Should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots of Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world?

Ronald Reagan

There is no virtue so truly great and godlike as Justice. Most of the other virtues are the virtues of created Beings, or accommodated to our nature as we are men. Justice is that which is practised by God himself, and to be practised in its perfection by none but him. Omniscience and Omnipotence are requisite for the full exertion of it. The one, to discover every degree of uprightness or iniquity in thoughts, words and actions. The other, to measure out and impart suitable rewards and punishments.As to be perfectly just is an attribute in the divine nature, to be so to the utmost of our abilities is the glory of a man. Such an one who has the publick administration in his hands, acts like the representative of his Maker, in recompencing the virtuous, and punishing the offender.

Joseph Addison, Guardian, No. 99

Silence is more eloquent than words.

Thomas Carlyle

The biological factors underlying race differences in sports have consequences for educational achievement, crime and sexual behavior.

J. Philippe Rushton

And after I make a lot of money, I'll be able to afford running for office.

Christy Romano

This world is empty to him alone who does not understand how to direct his libido towards objects, and to render them alive and beautiful for himself, for Beauty does not indeed lie in things, but in the feeling that we give to them.

Carl Jung

I have an answering machine in my car. It says, I'm home now.But leave a message and I'll call when I'm out.

Steven Wright

Joy can only be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.

Leo Tolstoy

It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.

Joe Elliott

INNOVATION is the process of turning ideas into manufacturable and marketable form.
