I'm not cool with ACORN or the working families' party, or people that vote like democrats and run on Republican lines.

The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration.

Allan Bloom

Suspicion amongst thoughts are like bats amongst birds, they never fly by twilight.

Francis Bacon

By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show

Samuel Johnson

Friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life.

Thomas Jefferson

But probably every age gets, within certain limits, the science it deserves

C.S. Lewis

The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things -- war and hunger and date rape -- liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.

P. J. O'Rourke

It would be better to have no laws at all, than to have too many.

Michel de Montaigne

Most men experience getting older with regret, apprehension. But most women experience it even more painfully: with shame. Aging is a man's destiny, something that must happen because he is a human being.

Susan Sontag, The Double Standar

Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.

George Eliot

People may say I developed an iron will, but what really happened is that I made myself much fitter. I think an iron will is always supported by fitness.

Ivan Lendl

As long as you are being true to yourself, you will always find happiness.

Amber Riley

Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start when memory plays an old tune on the heart!

Eliza Cook
