Now, today is the day we honor, of course, the Presidents, ranging from George Washington, who couldn't tell a lie, to George Bush, who couldn't tell the truth, to Bill Clinton, who couldn't tell the difference.

If men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.

O. Henry

The cynics are right nine times out of ten.

H. L. Mencken

I am trying to make clear through my writing something which I believe: that biography- history in general- can be literature in the deepest and highest sense of that term.

Robert Caro

Oh, its Tommy this, an Tommy that, an Tommy, go away;But its Thank you, Mister Atkins, when the band begins to playThe band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,Oh, its Thank you, Mister Atkins, when the band begins to play.

Rudyard Kipling

Life is a festival only to the wise.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only those who keep their eye fixed on the far horizon will find their right road.

Dag Hammarskjold

Skip the religion and politics, head straight to the compassion. Everything else is a distraction.

Talib Kweli

When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.

Pope John Paul II

There is always something infinitely mean about other people's tragedies.

Oscar Wilde

Fortune is ever seen accompanying industry.

Oliver Goldsmith

You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.

Jane Austen

Software comes from heaven when you have good hardware.
