We were probably the last people in the country to get a VCR and we didn't have cable.

I just thought, 'What?'

A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.

The great safeguard of society and of domestic life was, that opinions were not acted on. Sane people did what their neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them.

George Eliot

My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.

Abraham Lincoln

The man who wins is the average man, Not built on any particular plan; Not blessed with any particular luck

Conrad Hilton, from autobiograph
