Love can smack you like a seagull, and pour all over your feet like junkmail. You can't be ready for such a thing any more than salt water taffy gets you ready for the ocean.

Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team.

Scottie Pippen

He who lives without folly isn't so wise as he thinks.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

No revolution that has ever taken place in society can be compared to that which has been produced by the words of Jesus Christ.

Mark Hopkins

Doing for people what they can and ought to do for themselves is a dangerous experiment. In the last analysis the welfare of the workers depends upon their own initiative. Whatever is done under the guise of philanthropy or social morality which in any way lessens initiative is the greatest crime that can be committed against the toilers. Let social busy-bodies and professional public morals experts in their fads reflect upon the perils they rashly invite under this pretense of social welfare.

Samuel Gompers

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Benjamin Franklin

Liberal that I am, I support health-care reform on its merits alone. My liberal blood boils, for example, when I read that half of the personal bankruptcies in this country are brought on, in part, by medical expenses.

Thomas Frank

Popular culture is a place where pity is called compassion, flattery is called love, propaganda is called knowledge, tension is called peace, gossip is called news, and auto-tune is called singing.

Criss Jami

There isnt always an explanation for everything.

Ernest Hemingway

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Clement Clarke Moore

It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.

Quentin Crisp

The smallest annoyances, disturb us the most.

Michel de Montaigne

Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves

Friedrich Nietzsche
