As I have said for many years throughout this land, we're borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the future of human civilization. Every bit of that has to change.

I don't even like watching sex scenes in movies. I have a slight prudish side to me.

Portia de Rossi

Parents: persons who spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out, and the rest of the time wondering when a child will turn in.

Ted Cook

Time advances: facts accumulate; doubts arise. Faint glimpses of truth begin to appear, and shine more and more unto the perfect day. The highest intellects, like the tops of mountains, are the first to catch and to reflect the dawn. They are bright, while the level below is still in darkness. But soon the light, which at first illuminated only the loftiest eminences, descends on the plain, and penetrates to the deepest valley. First come hints, then fragments of systems, then defective systems, then complete and harmonious systems. The sound opinion, held for a time by one bold speculator, becomes the opinion of a small minority, of a strong minority, of a majority of mankind. Thus, the great progress goes on.

Thomas Babington Macaulay

I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.

Helen Keller

With a houseful of kids you give each other strength.

Michael Landon

The more boys I meet the more I love my dog.

Carrie Underwood

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

Charles Monroe Schulz

Seeing unhappiness in the marriage of friends, I was content to have chosen music and laughter as a substitute for a husband.

Elsa Maxwell

I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences.

Sonia Sotomayor

Health is the requisite after morality

Thomas Jefferson

Keep a fair-sized cemetery in your back yard, in which to bury the faults of your friends.

Henry Ward Beecher

I was told that The Chinese said they would bury me by the Western Lake and build a shrine to my memory. I have some slight regret that this did not happen, as I might have become a god, which would have been very chic for an atheist.

Bertrand Russell
