The hatred of relatives is the most violent.

Tacitus

Historical Re-creation, he thought glumly, as they picked their way across, under, over or through the boulders and insect-buzzing heaps of splintered timber, with streamlets running everywhere. Only we do it with people dressing up and running around with blunt weapons, and people selling hot dogs, and the girls all miserable because they can only dress up as wenches, wenching being the only job available to women in the olden days.

Terry Pratchett

He must have killed a lot of men to have made so much money.

Moli

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

Hannah Arendt

I have the greatest sympathy with the growth of the socialist party. I think they understand the evils that surround us and hammer them into people's minds better than we Liberals.

Charles Trevelyan

He conquers twice who conquers himself in victory.

Jyrus

He had never been a social man. He had shunned causes with contempt and disgust. They were for pig-simple suckers and people with too much time and money on their hands

Stephen King

Absolute virtue is impossible and the republic of forgiveness leads, with implacable logic, to the republic of the guillotine.

Albert Camus

Now that I'm a mom, I'm way more laid back. If you come into my house, don't look for a coaster. Forget it. There is not a piece of furniture in my house now that is too precious.

Angela Kinsey

Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.

Neils Bohr

A community is like the ones who govern it.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford, he should be carried forward at the public expense.

James Madison
