Let those who desire a secure homeland conquer it. Let those who do not conquer it live under the whip and in exile, watched over like wild animals, cast from one country to another, concealing the death of their souls with a beggar's smile from the scorn of free men.

Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society.

Thomas Jefferson

One who looks for a friend without faults will have none.

Anon.

They are the weakest, however strong, who have no faith in themselves or their own powers.

Christian Nestell Bovee

The power to investigate is a great public trust.

I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like John Ford and Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, and also some very modern directors like The Coen Brothers. The directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. They do whatever they want and they don't care about the genre.

Michel Hazanavicius

Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.

William S. Burroughs

A man's mind is wont to tell him more than seven watchmen sitting in a tower.

Rudyard Kipling

I think every woman's entitled to a middle husband she can forget.

Adela Rogers St. Johns

You're never a loser until you quit trying.

Mike Ditka

In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom we have to say, Like People like Government.

A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists. You have this cheap, hideous 'girl power' sort of fad, which I think is pretty benign at best, but at worst, I think it's a way of taking the politics out of feminism and making it some kind of fashion.
