Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives -- from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango -- with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to-date scripts for actors on the tourists stage.

Passover affirms the great truth that liberty is the inalienable right of every human being

Morris Joseph

The main thing I say on war is that we need to obey the law and formally declare war.

Rand Paul

Physical misery is great everywhere out here Africa. Are we justified in shutting our eyes and ignoring it because our European newspapers tell us nothing about it? We civilised people have been spoilt. If any one of us is ill the doctor comes at once. Is an operation necessary, the door of some hospital or other opens to us immediately. But let every one reflect on the meaning of the fact that out here millions and millions live without help or hope of it. Every day thousands and thousands endure the most terrible sufferings, though medical science could avert them. Every day there prevails in many and many a far-off hut a despair which we could banish. Will each of my readers think what the last ten years of his family history would have been if they had been passed without medical or surgical help of any sort? It is time that we should wake from slumber and face our responsibilities!

Albert Schweitzer

William Lyon Mackenzie King

All persons, living and dead, are purely coincidental.

Kurt Vonnegut

Getting anything changes it from being desirable to just being taken for granted.

We love kitties, gawd bless their little whiskers, and we don't give a damn whether they or we are superior or inferior! They're confounded pretty, and that's all we know and all we need to know!

H.P. (Howard Phillips) Lovecraft

Power without principle is barren, but principle without power is futile. This is a party of government, and I will lead it as a party of government.

Tony Blair

That this individual life of all of us is not something limited in its temporal expression to the life that now we experience, follows from the very fact that here nothing final or individual is found expressed.

Josiah Royce

The thing you don't dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.

Tiger Woods

There are no such things as incurable s. There are only things for which man has not found a cure.

Bernard Baruch

In the end, we all lose it. Remember that. In the end, we own nothing.
