Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban, but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes, and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan, where he seems only to want to turn tail.

Virtue is the only true nobility.

Thomas Fuller

For every ailment under the sun, There is a remedy, or there is none, If there be one, try to find it; If there be none, never mind it.

Mother Goose

Nature has made a pebble and a female. The lapidary makes the diamond, and the lover makes the woman.

Victor Hugo

That's the difference between golf and many other sports. You go to some other sporting events, they just leave you or give you the cold shoulder and move on.

Bernhard Langer

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.

Katherine Mansfield

We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.

George Orwell

I hated to read. My mother could not get me to read. I'm going through the same thing with my daughter now. I love to read now, but I don't remember reading.

Dorothy Hamill

Worry is yet another side effect of dying.

John Green

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?

Chuck Palahniuk

Today, because of President Obama's courage, kids can stay on their parent's plan until they are 26. Insurers cannot kick you off your policy because you have hit your limit. They will not be able to deny you because you have a pre-existing condition.

Rahm Emanuel

Happiness is obsolete: uneconomic.

Theodor Adorno

Men of action are favored by the Goddess of luck.

George S. Clason
