Probably it is impossible for humor to be ever a revolutionary weapon. Candide can do little more than generate irony.

Man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.

Albert Einstein

I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.

Roger Moore

HOW do you define a word without concrete meaning? To each his own, the saying goes, soWHYpush to attain an ideal state of being that no two random people will agree isWHERE you want to be? Faultless. Finished. Incomparable. People can never be these, and anyway,WHENdid creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the personWHOlives inside your skin? The outside belongs to others. Only you should decide for you -WHATis perfect.

Ellen Hopkins

It occurred to me that a lot of beauty has to do with believing it yourself. That half of what we see is just the way it is presented.

Nora Raleigh Baskin

Do you often feel like parched ground, unable to produce anything worthwhile? I do. When I am in need of refreshment, it isn't easy to think of the needs of others. But I have found that if, instead of praying for my own comfort and satisfaction, I ask the Lord to enable me to give to others, an amazing thing often happens - I find my own needs wonderfully met. Refreshment comes in ways I would never have thought of, both for others, and then, incidentally, for myself.

Elisabeth Elliot

It turned out I was pretty good in science. But again, because of the small budget, in science class we couldn't afford to do experiments in order to prove theories. We just believed everything. Actually, I think that class was called Religion. Religion class was always an easy class. All you had to do was suspend the logic and reasoning you were being taught in all the other classes.

George Carlin

Money is good, love is wealth.

Doug Horton

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.

Ben Sweetland

Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch is, and it darts away.

Dorothy Parker

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.

Theodore Roosevelt

It is a sweet and seemly thing to die for one's country.

Horace

Just because the boat rocks doesn't mean it's time to jump overboard.
