We all need ways to express ourselves, and poetry is one of mine.

Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests. The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.

Sarah Palin

I think with the Romans, that the general of today should be a soldier tomorrow if necessary.

Thomas Jefferson

Those who look behind will never see beyond.

Sherry K. White

Positiveness is an absurd foible. If you are in the right, it lessens your triumph; if in the wrong, it adds shame to your defeat.

Laurence Sterne

Woman does not forget she needs the fecundator, she does not forget that everything that is born of her is planted in her.

Anais Nin

The best anti-aging advice I've ever received? Drink a lot of water and have a plant-based diet. I also do mindful meditation with my daughter every day. It takes ten minutes. I think reducing stress plays a big part in anti-aging.

Carolyn Murphy

. . . such a rush immediately ensued that she with laughing face and plundered dress was borne towards it the centre of a flushed and boisterous group, just in time to greet the father, who came home attended by a man laden with Christmas toys and presents. Then the shouting and the struggling, and the onslaught that was made on the defenceless porter! Then scaling him, with chairs for ladders, to dive into his pockets, despoil him of brown-paper parcels, hold on tight by his cravat, hug him round the neck, pommel his back and kick his legs in irrepressible affection! The shouts of wonder and delight with wich the development of every package was received! The terrible announcement that the baby had been taken in the act of putting a doll's frying-pan into his mouth, and was more than suspected of having swallowed a fictitious turkey, glued on a wooden platter! The immense relief of finding this false alarm! The joy, and gratitude, and ecstasy! They are indescribable alike. It is enough that by degrees the children and their emotions got out of the parlor, and by one stair at a time up to the top of the house; where they went to bed, and so subsided.

Charles Dickens

Throughout human history, the American Idea has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.

Paul Ryan

Passion for fame: A passion which is the instinct of all great souls.

Edmund Burke

We would be false to our trust if we allowed the time it takes to give effect to constitutional rights to be used as the very reason for taking away those rights.

Frank Murphy

I hate menus, I hate choosing food. I just want to be brought. Bring me dinner!

Hugh Laurie

If Columbus had turned back, no one would have blamed him. Of course, no one would have remembered him either.
