It is a seldom proferred argument as to the advantages of a free press that it has a major function in keeping the government itself informed as to what the government is doing.

Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time.

Horace Mann

Do we believe that the goal of government is to promote equal opportunity for all Americans to make the most of their lives? Or, do we now believe that government's role is to equalize the results of peoples lives?

Paul Ryan

There, at a depth to which divers would find it difficult to descend, are caverns, haunts, and dusky mazes, where monstrous creatures multiply and destroy each other. Huge crabs devour fish and are devoured in their turn. Hideous shapes of living things, not created to be seen by human eyes wander in this twilight. Vague forms of antennae, tentacles, fins, open jaws, scales, and claws, float about there, quivering, growing larger, or decomposing and perishing in the gloom, while horrible swarms of swimming things prowl about seeking their prey.To gaze into the depths of the sea is, in the imagination, like beholding the vast unknown, and from its most terrible point of view. The submarine gulf is analogous to the realm of night and dreams. There also is sleep, unconsciousness, or at least apparent unconsciousness, of creation. There in the awful silence and darkness, the rude first forms of life, phantomlike, demoniacal, pursue their horrible instincts.

Victor Hugo

Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell someone the purpose of any object right away, they often think there is nothing to it.

Johann von Goethe

Hate looks like everybody else until it smiles

Tahereh Mafi

Brevity and conciseness are the parents of correction.

Hosea Ballou

If you are going to go to the trouble of choosing healthy food for your plate, shouldn't you also choose healthy people for your life?

Ramani Durvasula

I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.

Swami Vivekananda

There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves.

Jesse Ventura

The road to learning by precept is long, but by example short and effective.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

I hope to be involved in a successful movie script.
