I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again. What I have done since then is pretty well known.

The love of economy is the root of all virtue.

George Bernard Shaw

The busiest of living agents are certain dead men's thoughts.

Christian Nevell Bovee

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

Robin Williams

Nothing can bring you happiness but yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

My father was a small-town banker. He became very ill when I was 10 years old, and we went to California three years later in an attempt to recover his health, which never happened.

Warren Christopher

A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts. We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us, like the grass which confesses the influence of the slightest dew that falls on it; and did not spend our time in atoning for the neglect of past opportunities, which we call doing our duty. We loiter in winter while it is already spring.

Henry David Thoreau

Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.

Abraham Lincoln

They are slaves who fear to speak, for the fallen and the weak.

James Russell Lowell

When I found out I was going to be on CBS every morning, my first phone call was to Jenny Craig. Ten days later, I'd lost nine pounds. Now I even take the plan's popcorn with me to the movies.

Gayle King

I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.

Eminem

Listen friends, you have to face the truth: You are never going to be rich... The system is rigged in favor of the few, and your name is not among them, not now and not ever.

Michael Moore

The auditory perception is not sufficient for our knowledge of the world it does not have vastness.

Robert Delaunay
