All human life is here, but the Holy Ghost seems to be somewhere else.

These be three silent things: The Falling snow... the hour before the dawn... the mouth of one just dead.

Adelaide Crapsey

This war is not about slavery.

Robert E. Lee

If the ordinary wage-earner worked four hours a day, there would be enough for everybody and no unemployment -- assuming a certain very moderate amount of sensible organization. This idea shocks the well-to-do, because they are convinced that the poor would not know how to use so much leisure. In America men often work long hours even when they are well off; such men, naturally, are indignant at the idea of leisure for wage-earners, except as the grim punishment of unemployment; in fact, they dislike leisure even for their sons.

Bertrand Russell

Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them.

Albert Einstein

That's not a lie, it's a terminological inexactitude. Also, a tactical misrepresentation.

Alexander Haig

I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.

Joel Edgerton

People may live as much retired from the world as they like, but sooner or later they find themselves debtor or creditor to some one.

Johann von Goethe

At the age of 16 I was already dreaming of having a baby because I felt myself to be an adult, but my mum forbid it. Right now, I feel like a teenager and I want to have fun for one or two more years before starting a family.

Milla Jovovich

No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?

Johann von Goethe

I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.

Ronald Reagan

Everybody wants to do something to help, but nobody wants to be the first.

Pearl Bailey

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.
