Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.

Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spent my entire days sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commits acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them.

Neil Gaiman

Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.

Benjamin Disraeli

Sudden success in golf is like the sudden acquisition of wealth. It is apt to unsettle and deteriorate the character.

P. G. Wodehouse

I have seen three emperors in their nakedness, and the sight was not inspiring.

Otto von Bismarck

Such indeed is the superior longevity of the fair females of Surinam, compared to that of the males (owing chiefly, as I said, to their excesses of all sorts) that I have frequently known wives who have buried four husbands, but never met a man in this country who had survived two wives.

Captain J. G. Stedman

The most general definition of beauty... Multeity in Unity.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I've never been seriously involved with anyone. I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual.

Rupert Grint

There is nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

Erma Bombeck

But I spent just two calendar years at Cornell University, though it was covering more than three years of work, and then went to medical school and did become interested in psychiatry, and even helped form a kind of psychiatry club in medical school.

Robert Jay Lifton

They take the paper and they read the headlines. So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of bread-lines. And they philanthropically cure them all by getting up a costume charity ball.

Ogden Nash

People see me as cute, but I'm so much more than that.

Ashley Tisdale

I have always thought that every woman should marry, and no man.

Benjamin Disraeli
