No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!

Since there will be no one left to talk peace after the next war, it makes good sense to break with tradition and hold the peace conference first.

William Glasser

Meditation while walking has a long, noble history in ancient spiritual disciplines.

Andrew Weil

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.

Abraham Lincoln

I bought a selection of short, romantic fiction novels, studied them, decided that I had found a formula and then wrote a book that I figured was the perfect story. Thank goodness it was rejected.

Louise Brown

Everyone comes up to me saying, 'Cooee, Julie! Hello!' as if I know them. Of course I don't bloody know them. Am I flummoxed by it? Sometimes. I think, 'Ooh, love, go easy.' For a time, I did feel this pressure that I had to be funny, but it passes.

Julie Walters

One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't.

George Bernard Shaw

One often makes a remark and only later sees how true it is.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

The successful man is prosperous, because he has developed ninety-five percent of his ability. The failure is poor, because only five percent of his natural talents have been utilized.

Charles E. Popplestone

From the standpoint of the upper classes, the system had many merits. They felt that what was paid out of the poor rate was charity, and therefore a proof of their benevolence; at the same time, wages were kept at starvation level by a method which just prevented discontent from developing into revolution...It was plainly the certainty, derived from the old Poor Law, that actual death would be averted by the parish authorities, which induced the rural poor of England to endure their misery patiently...it taught them respect for their 'betters'.While leaving all the wealth that they produced, beyond the absolute minimum required for subsistence, in the hands of the landowners and farmers. It was at this period that landowners built the sham Gothic ruins called 'follies', where they indulged in romantic sensibility about the past while they filled the present with misery and degradation.

Bertrand Russell

Frankly, I got into the movies because I like the movies a lot.

Jack Nicholson

There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

Ovid

I made that decision back in 1985. I was out here getting certified in SCUBA with Garcia in Kona and I thought to myself, this is a place to wake up in in the morning.
