Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either rods or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

Julie Bowen

I dated a guy and he liked me but I didn't like him. I went through his wardrobe and cleaned out his house and got him to get a new car. He said to me, 'If I give you $10,000, will you find me my wife because I want someone like you?' And within a year, he got married. That was the first match that led to me leaving my corporate job.

Patti Stanger

I asked my wife if she enjoys a cigarette after sex and she said, no one drag is enough

Rodney Dangerfield

Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage.

Danny Glover

The worst government is often the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression.

H. L. Mencken

Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.

Hubert Humphrey

First you find out what you have , Dad would say. Then you figure out how to make it work for what you need, 'cause you don't get what you want. You get just what you have and no more.

Lilith Saintcrow

You can't master your future if you're still a slave to your past.

Habeeb Akande

I know why most people never get rich. They put the money ahead of the job. If you just think of the job, the money will automatically follow. This never fails.

Hedy Lamarr

I look for people who're passionate, dedicated to the text, and in whom I trust completely.

Greta Scacchi

A family is a little kingdom, torn with factions and exposed to revolutions.

Samuel Johnson
