O, for an engine, to keep back all clocks, or make the sun forget his motion!

Ben Jonson

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.

Davy Crockett

It didn't make you noble to step away from something that wasn't working, even if you thought you were the reason for the malfunction. Especially then. It just made you a quitter. Because if you were the problem, chances were you could also be the solution. The only way to find out was to take another shot.

Sarah Dessen

Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.

Charles Barkley

Edmund Burke

I don't know anything about computers.

Adam Carolla

Compared with the thousands of years in which human life has been on this planet, Christianity is a recent development.

If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheism -- at least in the sense of this work -- is the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.

Ludwig Feuerbach

Abraham Lincoln
