Our lives are fed by kind words and gracious behavior. We are nourished by expressions like excuse me and other such simple courtesies... Rudeness, the absence of the sacrament of consideration, is but another mark that our time-is-money society is lacking in spirituality, if not also in its enjoyment of life.

I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy. He doesn't talk about civil liberties, so I would have a hard time to expect him to ever invite me to campaign with him.

Ron Paul

I swam my brains out.

Mark Spitz

We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.

Ronald Reagan

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind....

M.K. Gandhi

I would say that the war correspondent gets more drinks, more girls, better pay, and greater freedom than the soldier, but at this stage of the game, having the freedom to choose his spot and being allowed to be a coward and not be executed for it is his torture.

Robert Capa

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges. Let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation.

Abraham Lincoln

You'll know if you're a famous composer if 20 years from now your name appears on a pull-down menu in Band in a Box, alongside Hans Zimmer.

Cliff Martinez

When you think positive, good things happen.

Matt Kemp

Without music, life would be a blank to me.

Jane Austen

People confuse goodness with weakness. It is weak people, not good people (goodness demands strength), who are taken advantage of.

Dennis Prager

Preconceived notions are the locks on the door to wisdom.

Merry Browne

If you're there before it's over, you're on time.
