Litigation takes the place of sex at middle age.

The bat is gone, but the smile remains.

Willie Stargell

My dad was very fun and very adventurous, and from a formative age I learned to value men who would do things on a whim.

Rachel Hunter

It is not a reproach but a compliment to learning, to say, that great scholars are less fit for business; since the truth is, business is so much a lower thing than learning, that a man used to the last cannot easily bring his stomach down to the first.

George Savile

Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.

Hannah More

The value for which P=0.05, or 1 in 20, is 1.96 or nearly 2; it is convenient to take this point as a limit in judging whether a deviation ought to be considered significant or not. Deviations exceeding twice the standard deviation are thus formally regarded as significant. Using this criterion we should be led to follow up a false indication only once in 22 trials, even if the statistics were the only guide available. Small effects will still escape notice if the data are insufficiently numerous to bring them out, but no lowering of the standard of significance would meet this difficulty.

Ronald A. Fisher

The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart wants what the heart wants.

Stephen King

I hope I have important things to say.

Elizabeth Edwards

To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education

Thomas Jefferson

Goldstone has done terrible damage to the cause of truth and justice and the rule of law. He has poisoned Jewish-Palestinian relations, undermined the courageous work of Israeli dissenters and most unforgivably increased the risk of another merciless IDF assault.

Norman G. Finkelstein

You can't put democracy and freedom back into a box.

George W. Bush

The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief... that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.

Walter Lippmann

I asked my wife if she would put out the garbage. She said...Why should I... you never put out for me.

Rodney Dangerfield
