I, however, place economy among the first and most important of republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared.

A good idea will keep you awake during the morning, but a great idea will keep you awake during the night.

Marilyn vos Savant

I definitely gravitate towards quality genre projects and genre of any kind whether it's science fiction, horror or really anything. I'm just drawn to quality. I don't think 'Darkness Falls' is horror there isn't any gore by any stretch of the imagination.

Emma Caulfield

Think about how much it costs to incarcerate someone. Do we want them just sitting in prison, lifting weights, becoming violent and thinking about the next crime? Or do we want them having a little purpose in life and learning a skill?

John Ensign

Obviously, I've been on sets before but nothing as big as 'Twilight.' You forget sometimes that you're on set of one of the biggest movies ever- so when you just sit back and think about it its just so incredible. It's such a great learning experience.

Booboo Stewart

I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man who is open to a lot of different things and I think that questioning our purpose in life and the meaning of existence is something that we all go through at some point.

Laurence Fishburne

I used to be a Catholic. I left because I object to conversion by concussion. If you don't agree with what they teach, you get clobbered over the head until you do. All that does is change the shape of the head.

Alan Alda

I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.

W. C. Fields

What? A great man? I only ever see the ape of his own ideal.

Friedrich Nietzsche

He went to the church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and for, and patted the children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of homes, and up to the windows, and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed of any walk, that anything, could give him so much happiness. (p. 119)

Charles Dickens

For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

I would never encourage my children to be athletes - first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.

Bill James

Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is always Judas who writes the biography.

Oscar Wilde
