The needs of a human being are sacred. Their satisfaction cannot be subordinated either to reasons of state, or to any consideration of money, nationality, race, or color, or to the moral or other value attributed to the human being in question, or to any consideration whatsoever.

I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.

The evidence unmistakably indicates that you have to spend money in order to make money.

Srully Blotnick

Since I was man,
 Such sheets of fire, such bursts of torrid thunder
 Such groans of roaring wind and rain, I never
 Remember to have heard.

William Shakespeare

I definitely gravitate towards quality genre projects and genre of any kind whether it's science fiction, horror or really anything. I'm just drawn to quality. I don't think 'Darkness Falls' is horror there isn't any gore by any stretch of the imagination.

Emma Caulfield

I'd rather a young black actor read about success as opposed to how tough it was. I get these roles because I can act and that's it. Hopefully that's it.

Idris Elba

Sydney J. Harris

The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.

Charles Baudelaire

Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me - I quit.'

Bill Maher

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Abraham Lincoln

Every time I've done comedy in, like, traditional comedy clubs, there's always these comedians that do really well with audiences but that the other comedians hate because they're just, you know, doing kind of cheap stuff like dancing around or doing, like, very kind of base sex humor a lot, and stuff like that.

Aziz Ansari

James Buchan

When your country is in a costly war, with our soldiers sacrificing abroad and our nation facing a debt crisis at home, being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare - it's patriotism.

Cory Booker
