We ought to recognize that we have an offensive responsibility to take the war to the terrorists where they are. That responsibility has waned in the last year as military and intelligence resources were withdrawn from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be used in Iraq.

We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.

George Bernard Shaw

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

C.S. Lewis

Never be so brief as to become obscure.

Tryon Edwards

The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.

Thomas Paine

I hope that my investment into Atomico will become my best financial investment to date.

Niklas Zennstrom

Ethically they had arrived at the conclusion that man's supremacy over lower animals meant not that the former should prey upon the latter, but that the higher should protect the lower, and that there should be mutual aid between the two as between man and man. They had also brought out the truth that man eats not for enjoyment but to live.

Mahatma Gandhi

Who doesn't want to shortcut the greatness.

Jackson Evans

To be born woman is to know - although they do not speak of it at school - women must labor to be beautiful.

William Butler Yeats

Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father. Matthew 18:10

Bible

There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.

Benjamin Franklin

I am not willing to risk the lives of German soldiers for countries whose names we cannot spell properly.

Volker Ruhe

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1776
