Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias; the spirit of liberty remembers that not even a sparrow falls to earth unheeded; the spirit of liberty is the spirit of Him who, near two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned, but has never quite forgotten; that there may be a kingdom where the least shall be heard and considered side by side with the greatest.

Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.

Raymond Chandler

Everything we enjoy in society is a direct result of the accumulated learning derived from millions of mistakes. No mistakes, no progress. Yet we still look at making a mistake as embarrassing, wrong, an act bordering on sin. If youre making mistakes, it means youre doing new things, taking risks, stretching yourself. Youre growing, learning. And isn't the journey, the experience, not the destination, what life is all about?

Robert White

When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother.

Rodney Dangerfield

The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.

Diane von Furstenberg

I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

Julie Bowen

If you're a Christian you don't sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing, if they're happy and they're committed in a relationship.

Howard Stern

It seems a long time since the morning mail could be called correspondence.

Jacques Barzun

You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back.

Wayne Dyer

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,Men were deceivers ever,-One foot in sea and one on shore,To one thing constant never.

William Shakespeare

The word is control. That's my ultimate -- to have control.

Nick Faldo

Your own brain ought to have the decency to be on your side!

Terry Pratchett

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again -- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

Mark Twain
