Personal isn't the same as important.

Golf is a fine relief from the tensions of office, but we are a little tired of holding the bag.

Adlai Stevenson

A monarch, when good, is entitled to the consideration which we accord to a pirate who keeps Sunday School between crimes; when bad, he is entitled to none at all.

Mark Twain

Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I feel strangely free at such times. To behave properly is to be always courteous, always clever, and subtle and elegant. But now, when I am so alone, I do not have to be any of these things. For this moment, I am wholly myself, unshaped by the needs of others, by their dreams or expectations or sensibilities. But I am also lonely. With no one to shape me, who stands here, watching the moon, or the stars, or the clouds?

Kij Johnson

There are nuclear weapons in China, Iran, Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage, then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.

Edward James Olmos

All men are ignorant, just in different fields.

Albert Einstein

You know, no matter what I am or what I do for a living, I'm still, you know, the husband and the dad and the protector of the house, and I have to be conscientious about that.

Richie Sambora

What we anticipate seldom occurs, what we least expected generally happens.

Benjamin Disraeli

I could be on 52nd and Third in Manhattan up and ask a strange for directions and they will help you, that's a rural heart. Your car breaks down in the middle of Iowa or somewhere, or Tennessee where I'm from, people want to help each other. Given each opportunity, you see how people come together.

Rodney Atkins

A dress that zips up the back will bring a husband and wife together.

James H. Boren

The world is beautiful if you are beautiful.

Theodore H. White

I have a very deep and wide relationship with my fans.

Wynonna Judd
