The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that is the way to bet.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

John Quincy Adams

Oh why rebuke you him that loves you so? / Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe.

William Shakespeare

A jury is composed of twelve men of average ignorance.

Herbert Spencer

Firm, faithful, and devoted, full of energy and zeal, and truth, he labors for his race; he clears their painful way to improvement; he hews down like a giant the prejudices of creed and caste that encumber it. He may be stern; he may be exacting; he may be ambitious yet; but his is the sternness of the warrior Greatheart, who guards his pilgrim convoy from the onslaught of Apollyon. His is the exaction of the apostle, who speaks but for Christ, when he says, Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. His is the ambition of the high master-spirit, which aims to fill a place in the first rank of those who are redeemed from the earth -- who stand without fault before the throne of God, who share the last mighty victories of the Lamb, who are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Charlotte Bronte

Oh, now, now, now, the only now, and above all now, and there is no other now but thou now and now is thy prophet.

Ernest Hemingway

That is a Medieval way of drawing history, in which they do not respect the law and want the rest of the world to respect the law. That's not possible.

Emir Kusturica

There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.

Dorothea Brande

The discipline of desire is the background of character.

John Locke

Yes, there is a story about Agent Orange, and we knew that it harmed our troops and we knew how long it was to get the medical community to accept that, the military to accept it, the VA to accept it.

Christopher Shays

I'm a big sports fan in general.

Luke Bryan

The poet knows that he speaks adequately, then, only when he speaks somewhat wildly.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think I'm extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like you're getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that.

Skeet Ulrich
