I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.

Dorothy is the only woman in history who has had her menopause in public and made it pay.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth

I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice.

Albert Einstein

The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.

Cesare Pavese

Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a certain potency of life in them, to be as active as the soul whose progeny they are; they preserve, as in a vial, the purest efficacy and extraction of the living intellect that bred them.

John Milton

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

George S. Patton

A mighty monarch in the days of oldMade offer of high honour, wealth and gold,To one who should produce in form conciseA motto for his guidance, terse yet wise---A precept, soothing in his hours forlorn,Yet one that in his prosperous days would warn.Many the maxims sent the king, men say.The one he chose: This too shall pass away.Oh, jewel sentence from the mine of truth!What riches it contains for age or youth.No stately epic, measured and sublime,So comforts, or so counsels, for all timeAs these few words. Go write them on your heartAnd make them of your daily life a part.Has some misfortune fallen to your lot?This too will pass away--absorb the thought.And wait; your waiting will not be in vain,Time gilds with gold the iron links of pain.The dark to-day leads into light to-morrow;There is no endless joy, no endless sorrow.Are you upon earth's heights? No cloud in view?Go read your motto once again: This tooShall pass away; fame, glory, place and power,They are but little baubles of the hour,Flung by the ruthless years down in the dust.Take warning and be worthy of God's trust.Use well your prowess while it lasts; leave bloom,Not blight, to mark your footprints to the tomb.The truest greatness lies in being kind,The truest wisdom in a happy mind.He who desponds, his Maker's judgment mocks;The gloomy Christian is a paradox.Only the sunny soul respects its God.Since life is short we need to make it broad;Since life is brief we need to make it bright.Then keep the old king's motto well in sight,And let its meaning permeate each day.Whatever comes, This too shall pass away.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Poems of Po

It is true that liberty is precious. So precious that it must be rationed.

Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

I don't think Bosnia is ready for reconciliation, but I do think it is ready for truth.

Paddy Ashdown

Creation is a drug I can't do without.

Cecil B. De Mille

I'm not sure about the selling part, but I've always found that the things I've worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together.

Steven Tyler

A lot of why I do something is just the novelty of the experience.
