A lie twice believed is self decieved

But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid.

Robert Falcon Scott

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.

William Hazlitt

The best leaders are those most interested in surrounding themselves with assistants and associates smarter than they are. They are frank in admitting this and are willing to pay for such talents.

Amos Parrish

I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president - with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln - just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.

Barack Obama

Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself.

Baltasar Gracian

They imply, first of all, that it must be a peace without victory. It is not pleasant to say this. I beg that I may be permitted to put my own interpretation upon it and that it may be understood that no other interpretation was in my thought. I am seeking only to face realities and to face them without soft concealments. Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last, only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit. The right state of mind, the right feeling between nations, is as necessary for a lasting peace as is the just settlement of vexed questions of territory or of racial and national allegiance.

Woodrow Wilson, Address of the P

Presently, the Commission for Commemorating 350 Years of American Jewish History has been brought about to encourage and sponsor a variety of historical activities that advance our understanding of the American Jewish experience as it marks this milestone anniversary.

Jon Porter

I can't talk religion to a man with bodily hunger in his eyes.

George Bernard Shaw

First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits, or they'll eventually conquer you.

Dr. Rob Gilbert

I envy people that know love. That have someone who takes them as they are.

Jess C. Scott

Law is an ass, an idiot.

Charles Dickens

Late in the winter of my seventeenth year, my mother decided I was depressed, presumably because I rarely left the house, spent quite a lot of time in bed, read the same book over and over, ate infrequently, and devoted quite a bit of my abundant free time to thinking about death.
