Friendship Never explain -- your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. A real friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be on the way down. A friend is someone you can do nothing with and enjoy it. However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.

Listening to both sides does not necessarily bring about a correct judgment.

Donald Rumsfeld

The original PATRIOT Act greatly increased our nation's ability to share intelligence information, made better use of technology, and provided terrorism investigators tools that have long been available in cases involving illegal drugs and organized crime.

Michael K. Simpson

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

Sherlock Holmes

The enthusiasm of a woman's love is even beyond the biographer's.

Jane Austen

So long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless.

Victor Hugo

The question is not whether the system works, but whether we like the way it works. Just because something works doesn't mean it is desirable. Concentration camps work, if your purpose is to enslave people. Stealing works, if all you care about is money. Lying works, if you don't give a damn about your personal integrity. Literally anything, no matter how monstrously immoral will work, depending on your desires and how you define the term work,

Sy Leon

Passion doesn't look beyond the moment of its existence.

Christian Nevell Bovee

Think with awe on the slow and quiet power of time.

Friedrich von Schiller

The government can still conduct clandestine searches of innocent people's private information such as library, medical, and financial records. This is wrong and should have been addressed in a true compromise.

Jose Serrano

Ben Says: Make up your mind

Timothy Pina

Men mourn for what they have lost women for what they ain't got.

Josh Billings

One cannot make plans to acquire happiness; it has to be unbidden and spontaneous only than it can give us peace.
