Marilyn Monroe

He who does not think much of himself is much more esteemed than he imagines.

Johann von Goethe

Jonathan Swift

Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves, politicians. All three need supervision.

Dick Armey

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
