Thomas Jefferson

My number one goal was not getting 'A's' - and I proved it. I was a 'C' student. You have to be ready to learn. If you're not interesting in learning, it doesn't work. As I grew older and wanted to learn and desperately wanted inside information, learning was a lot easier.

The Obama administration now has regulations that tells them that they can no longer promote marriage to these young girls. They can no longer promote marriage as a way of avoiding poverty and bad choices that they make in their life. They can no longer even teach abstinence education. They have to be neutral with respect to how people behave.

Rick Santorum

I define fear as standing across the ring from Joe Louis and knowing he wants to go home early.

Ron Fournier

Has a woman who knew she was well-dressed ever caught a cold?

Friedrich Nietzsche

An emancipated society, on the other hand, would not be a unitary state, but the realization of universality in the reconciliation of differences.

Theodor Adorno

When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.

St. Jerome
