You gotta have a body.

I'll let the racket do the talking.

John McEnroe

A person obsessed with ultimate truth is a person asking to be relieved of money.

Robert Laughlin

It is doubtful whether our soldiers would be maintained if there were not pacific people at home who like to fancy themselves soldiers. War, like other dramatic spectacles, might possibly cease for want of a public.

George Eliot

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

Rich Kulawiec

In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colorless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again(15).

Barbara Kingsolver

Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.

Frank Herbert

When the Christ says I: it is the I of all the Masters: the Way, the Truth, the Life

Frederick Franck

The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.

Theodore Roosevelt

Despite the fact that in America we incarcerate more juveniles for life terms than in any other country in the world, the truth is that the vast majority of youth offenders will one day be released. The question is simple and stark. Do we want to help them change or do we want to help them become even more violent and dangerous?

Ayelet Waldman

Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique.

Henry Louis Gates

Things will get better -- despite our efforts to improve them.

Will Rogers

Pray, and let God worry.

Martin Luther
