Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity -- an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.

There is nothing more real than this, nothing more terrible. Be we as heroic as we like, that is the end which awaits the noblest life in the world. Let us reflect on this and then say whether it is not beyond doubt that there is no good in this life

Blaise Pascal

If you just stay away from junk, and stick with what your mom taught you, you're eating pretty healthy.

Sprague Grayden

You turn dark shadows into canopies of hope and dry grass into gold.My heart is spoiled and my breath consumed when the beauty of earthgives a glimmer of understanding to the beauty of You.

When you think of couponing, you picture a mom cutting coupons out of the back of the newspaper.

Andrew Mason

Life should begin with age and its privileges and accumulations, and end with youth and its capacity to splendidly enjoy such advantages.

Henry David Thoreau

I thought you'd rather have a live donkey than a dead lion.

Ernest Shackleton

If you would convince others, seem open to conviction yourself.

Lord Chesterfield

Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

Mel Brooks

You're required to fight the government since they are not obeying the laws of the constitution and it says in the constitution to fight them if they are not.

James Dye

Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because he is a more valuable slave.

Henry David Thoreau

I think everyone dreams of that nice romantic wedding.

Lance Bass

It doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or how much money you've got in your pocket. You have your own destiny and your own life ahead of you.
