Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.

I am a degenerate modern semi-intellectual who would die if I did not get my early morning cup of tea and my every Friday. Clearly I do not, in a sense, 'want' to return to a simpler, harder, probably agricultural way of life. In the same sense I don't 'want' to cut down on my drinking, to pay my debts, to take enough exercise, to be faithful to my wife, etc. etc. But in another and more permanent sense I do want these things, and perhaps in the same sense I want a civilization in which 'progress' is not definable as making the world safe for little fat men.

George Orwell

No one can keep his grieves in their prime; they use themselves up.

Jerry Saltz

It is better to be alone than in bad company.

George Washington

Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?

Patrick Henry

Writing for me is a kind of compulsion, so I don't think anyone could havemade me do it, or prevented me from doing it.

J.K. Rowling

Put your trust in God and keep your powder dry.

Oliver Cromwell

I don't need to be looking at every failure of government, I need to be looking where failure of government needs reform.

Darrell Issa

In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute.

Edmund Burke

I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.

Miguel Jontel Pimentel

It's no good agreeing with a person who can't make up his mind.
