Making capitalism out of socialism is like making eggs out of an omelet.

You cannot fight against the future. Time is on our side.

William Ewart Gladstone

My doctor told me that jogging could add years to my life. I think he was right. I feel ten years older already.

Milton Berle

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

George Eliot

Homer has taught all other poets the are of telling lies skillfully.

Aristotle

My life is a struggle.

Voltaire

Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.

John Lyly

In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

Theodore Roosevelt

You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie.

Georg Buchner

The thing about being famous is, it's weird. The only people who get how weird it is are other famous people.

Margot Kidder

An important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.

John Kenneth Galbraith

My husband gave me a necklace. It's fake. I requested fake. Maybe I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head.

Rita Rudner

Strength was the virtue of paganism obedience is the virtue of Christianity.

David Hare
