Popular opinions, on subjects not palpable to sense, are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth.

Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well; but their manners should be of the greatest concern.

Richard Buckminster Fuller

I love jazz music and sad music.

Fred Durst

The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion and politics, but it is not the path to knowledge; it has no place in the endeavor of science.

Carl Sagan

They're not going to teach science at all. What they do is take the science students down to the lake, tie them in burlap sacks and throw them in. If God thinks they're good science students, they float.

Paula Poundstone

At 6 years old, the ice became a place for me to express myself. Because I was so shy off the ice, it became my safe haven, with music and freedom and self-expression. That was my emotional outlet.

Kristi Yamaguchi

I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

Michelangelo

What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.

Jane Austen

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

Albert Camus

A whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing; as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure. When a gentleman is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths, ha?

William Shakespeare

Intellectuals never sound more foolish than when posing as the last civilised man.

Christopher Hitchens

Women are the real reason we get up every day. I'm talking about real men. If there were no women, I would not even have to bathe, because why would I care? These are guys I'm hanging with. I wake up for a woman every day of my life to make it happen for her.

Steve Harvey

And it is no less true, that personal security and private property rest entirely upon the wisdom, the stability, and the integrity of the courts of justice.

Joseph Story
