Like Confucius of old, I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and the angels. I have enough for this life. If there is no other life, then this one has been enough to make it worth being born, myself a human being.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.

A.M. Harte

Travel teaches as much as books.

Youssou N'Dour

The future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried, tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama, your agenda is not new. It's not change, and it's not hope.

Rush Limbaugh

B. C. Forbes

Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on--that is, badly.

George Orwell

The average man's opinions are generally of more value to himself than to anyone else.

I don't get a chance to be home much.

Jennifer Hudson

Not a problem kid or anything like that so when you're in the legal system like that, it's always hard on a person for the first time to go through some things like that.

Leonard Little

It's amazing how much you can learn if your intentions are truly earnest.

Chuck Berry

When I talked to my medical friends about the strange silence on this subject in American medical magazines and textbooks, I gained the impression that here was a subject tainted with Socialism or with feminine sentimentality for the poor.
