I remember my mom saying to me that what your friends do is one thing, but what you do could be on the front page of the paper.

No one is more important to the future of our state than our teachers.

Mike Huckabee

Use your lives wisely, my friends, and conserve these precious freedoms for future generations.

Ted Nugent

You know the games I play And the words I say When I want my own way You know the lies I tell When you've gone through hell And I say I can't stay You know how hard it can be To keep believing in me When everything and everyone Becomes my enemy and when There's nothing more you can do I'm gonna blame it on you It's not the way I want to be I only hope that in the end you will see It's the Opheliac in me

Emilie Autumn

Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative, if there were more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we're all in it together. It'll work when there's a shared sense of destiny. It can be done!

Jerry Brown

Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?

Benjamin Franklin

I wanted a perfect ending... Now, I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

Gilda Radner

Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.

Aldous Huxley

When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself.

Isak Dinesen

In politics, a lie unanswered becomes truth within 24 hours.

Willie Brown

That someone like Obama could be elected president of the United States - with its unrivaled power and prestige - has begun to restore the country's and the world's faith in America as the land of opportunity.

Dee Dee Myers

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

Alan Watts
