And let me make this very clear - unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class. As president, I will protect the sanctity of life. I will honor the institution of marriage. And I will guarantee America's first liberty: the freedom of religion.

Well - I started writing - probably in the early 60s and by say '65-'66 I had read most of the poetry that had been published - certainly in the 20 years prior to that.

Robert Adamson

Humor is the instinct for taking pain playfully.

Max Eastman

What's sort of interesting about the whole public relations disaster that is the Net, in some ways, is that the fundamentals are really good.

Meg Whitman

Unless the reformer can invent something which substitutes attractive virtues for attractive vices, he will fail.

Walter Lippmann

It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

Ram Dass

Even as far back as when I started acting at 14, I know I've never considered failure.

Jennifer Lawrence

Love those you hate you.

Leo Tolstoy

Do that which is assigned to you and you cannot hope too much or dare too much.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.

David Herbert Lawrence

You should not honor men more than truth.

Plato

The ordinary politician has a very low estimate of human nature. In his daily life he comes into contact chiefly with persons who want to get something or to avoid something. Beyond this circle of seekers after privileges, individuals and organized minorities, he is aware of a large unorganized, indifferent mass of citizens who ask nothing in particular and rarely complain. The politician comes after a while to think that the art of politics is to satisfy the seekers after favors and to mollify the inchoate mass with noble sentiments and patriotic phrases.

Walter Lippmann

If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard.

Ernest Shackleton
