Fifty percent of something is better than than one hundred percent of nothing.

We're all just passing time and occupy our chair very briefly.

John Hurt

Come to West Virginia and we'll show you how to live... how to treat people. We're open for business. West Virginia is truly on the move.

Joe Manchin

It was treacherous. I think someone was injured. But I did love being there, we all did.

Madeleine Stowe

Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life.

Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Va

Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes his greatness to his country's ruin!

Joseph Addison

No manager ever won no ballgames.

Sparky Anderson

It was definitely a part of our life. I mean, my mom had both her brothers and her fiancee in Vietnam at the same time, so it wasn't just my dad's story, it was my mom's story too. And we definitely grew up listening to the stories.

Vanessa Kerry

Work with some men is as besetting a sin as idleness.

Samuel Butler

Is it not by learning to read the book of nature with the eyes of faith that we come to recognize the drop of divinity that resides in our own souls though hidden, master? In the end is this not faith; to seek the light that takes us further, the light of Christ that brings that to which reason and knowledge alone can never raise itself? This is truth!

Adriana Koulias

I revere the memory of Mr. F. as an estimable man and most indulgent husband, only necessary to mention Asparagus and it appeared or to hint at any little delicate thing to drink and it came like magic in a pint bottle; it was not ecstasy but it was comfort.

Charles Dickens

Few men have been admired of their familiars.

Michel de Montaigne

If you have Hope for a needed change...Faith that it will happen someday
