If I'm in something funny, I like to try and find some kind of serious line in it that people can relate to.

The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.

Thomas Jefferson

It would be a narrow conception of jurisprudence to confine the notion of 'laws' to what is found written on the statute books, and to disregard the gloss which life has written upon it.

Felix Frankfurter

The dignity of truth is lost With much protesting.

Ben Jonson

It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win. Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That's morality, that's religion. That's art. That's life.

Phil Ochs

Pray that God is the most important thing in your life, so much so that hurting him wold hurt you. When that happens, and your choices line up with his, it produces an amazing ripple effect of blessings--in your life, that of your family, and for the man you eventually marry.

Julie Lessman

Great loves too must be endured.

Coco Chanel

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill,of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings of freedom.

Maya Angelou

Beware of the man who knows the answer before he understands the question.

Source Unknown

The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Unlike presidential administrations, problems rarely have terminal dates.

Dwight D Eisenhower

I can't stop shaking. I need you. I want you. I can't let myself have you.

Kelli Maine

I do not know the American gentleman, God forgive me for putting two such words together.

Charles Dickens
