It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy's edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create one world. Instead of one world, we have star wars, and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet's dead.

Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.

J. B. Priestley

The destiny of any nation at any given time depends on the opinions of its young men under five-and-twenty

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.

Patrick Henry

I think that the Internet - and I do love the free flow of ideas on the 'Net - is like the wild west of the information world.

Vince McMahon

It's lies. It's all lies. Some of them are just prettier than others, that's all. People see what they think is there.

Terry Pratchett

I have to be in a relationship in order to be intimate. I'm not the one-night-stand kind of girl. Despite the rumors.

Kim Kardashian

I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?

Phyllis Diller

I think you may see again a rise at the federal government level for a - a call for the federal constitutional amendment, because people want to make sure that this definition of marriage remains secure, because after all, the family is the fundamental unit of government.
