If it were possible to make an accurate calculation of the evils which police regulations occasion, and of those which they prevent, the number of the former would, in all cases, exceed that of the latter.

The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Die Welt ist von Narren geschaffen, damit Weise in ihr Leben.

Oscar Wilde

America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.

Evan Esar

The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's mental and physical health is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time, because it's too hard...To put it loosely, the reason why kids are crazy is because nobody can face the responsibility of bringing them up...

John Lennon

Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.

Dale Carnegie

Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love.

Nelson Rockefeller

The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature --were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Never forget that you are married to a very beautiful woman.

Michael Lipsey

A nation that does not stand for its children does not stand for anything and will not stand tall in the future.

Marian Wright Edelman

If the devil could be persuaded to write a bible, he would title it, You Only Live Once.
