Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

Mark Twain

You are what you think. You are what you go for. You are what you do!

Bob Richards

It's been suggested that if the supernaturalists really had the powers they claim, they'd win the lottery every week. I prefer to point out that they could also win a Nobel Prize for discovering fundamental physical forces hitherto unknown to science. Either way, why are they wasting their talents doing party turns on television?

Richard Dawkins, Science, Delusi

It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.

Jerome K. Jerome

Christian life consists of faith and charity.

Martin Luther

The little boy nodded at the peony and the peony seemed to nod back. The little boy was neat, clean and pretty. The peony was unchaste, dishevelled as peonies must be, and at the height of its beauty.(...) Every hour is filled with such moments, big with significance for someone.

Robertson Davies

The road to a friend's house is never long.

Danish proverb

Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost.

Russell Baker

Your bat is your life. It's your weapon. You don't want to go into battle with anything that feels less than perfect.

Lou Brock

He had been for many years, a quiet silent man, associating but little with other men, and used to companionship with his own thoughts. He had never known before the strength of the want in his heart for the frequent recognition of a nod, a look, a word; or the immense amount of relief that had been poured into it by drops through such small means.

Charles Dickens

Genius is initiative on fire.

Holbrook Jackson

If you can't spot the sucker in the first half an hour at the table, then you are the sucker.

Matt Damon, The Movie Rounders
