Military hardliners called me a 'security threat' for promoting peace in South Asia and for supporting a broad-based government in Afghanistan.

I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.

Robert E. Lee

To note an artist's limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.

Willa Cather

From time to time, life as a leader can look hopeless. To help you, consider a man who lived through this: Failed in business at age 31. Defeated for the legislature at 32. Again failed in business at 34. Sweetheart died at 35. Had a nervous breakdown at 36. Defeated in election at 38. Defeated for Congress at 43. Defeated for Congress at 46. Defeated for Congress at 48. Defeated for Senate at 55. Defeated for Vice President at 56. Defeated for Senate at 58. Elected President at age 60. This man was Abraham Lincoln.

We must oppose programs that would take food from the mouths of younger generations to buy prescription drugs for old people, and we must do it... for the children.

L. Neil Smith

Une religion, par exemple, qui doit être transformée en savoir historique, une religion qui doit être étudiée de part en part scientifiquement, une fois cette étape franchie, sera par l? même détruite. Toute vérificatiuon historique amène au jour tant de choses fausses, grossières, inhumaines, absurdes, violentes que, forcément, se dissipe l'atmosphère d'illusion pieuse où tout ce qui a le désir de vivre peut seul prospérer.Deuxième Considération intempestive, ch. 7

Friedrich Nietzsche

All tragedies are finished by a death,All comedies are ended by a marriage;The future states of both are left to faith,For authors fear description might disparageThe worlds to come of both. . . .

Lord (George Gordon) Byron, Don

I don't look my age, I don't feel my age and I don't act my age. To me age is just a number.

Joan Collins

Plagiarists are always suspicious of being stolen from.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

To relive the relationship between owner and slave we can consider how we treat our cars and dogs -- a dog exercising a somewhat similar leverage on our mercies and an automobile being comparable in value to a slave in those days.

Edward Hoagland

True courage is like a kite a contrary wind raises it higher.

John Petit-Senn

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.
