It's a long walk back to Eden, sweetheart, so don't sweat the small stuff.

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

Harvey S. Firestone

Perhaps the excellence of aphorisms consists not so much in the expression of some rare or abstruse sentiment, as in the comprehension of some obvious and useful truth in a few words.We frequently fall into error and folly, not because the true principles of action are not known, but because, for a time, they are not remembered; and he may therefore be justly numbered among the benefactors of mankind who contracts the great rules of life into short sentences, that may be easily impressed on the memory, and taught by frequent recollection to recur habitually to the mind.

Samuel Johnson

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.

Burt Bacharach

Can anyone understand how it is to have lived in the White House and then, suddenly, to be living alone as the President's widow?

Jackie Kennedy

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.

Thomas Merton

We must join with the tens of millions all over the world who see in peace our most sacred responsibility.

Paul Robeson

Instead of getting married again. I'm going to find a woman I don't like and give her a house.

Lewis Grizzard

We are growing serious, and let me tell you, that's the next step to being dull.

Joseph Addison

Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.

Neil Gaiman

Anyone who can be proved to be a seditious person is an outlaw before God and the emperor; and whoever is the first to put him to death does right and well. Therefore let everyone who can, smite, slay and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful, or devilish than a rebel.

Martin Luther

All authority is quite degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and degrades those over whom it is exercised. When it is violently, grossly, and cruelly used, it produces a good effect by creating, or at any rate bringing out, the spirit of revolt and individualism that is to kill it. When it is used with a certain amount of kindness, and accompanied by prizes and rewards, it is dreadfully demoralising. People, in that case, are less conscious of the horrible pressure that is being put on them, and so go through their lives in a sort of coarse comfort, like petted animals, without ever realising that they are probably thinking other people's thoughts, living by other people's standards, wearing practically what one may call other people's second-hand clothes, and never being themselves for a single moment.

Oscar Wilde
