Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see, Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.

Thomas Carlyle

Keeping up with the Joneses was a full-time job with my mother and father. It was not until many years later when I lived alone that I realized how much cheaper it was to drag the Joneses down to my level.

Quentin Crisp

Politics is a place of humble hopes and strangely modest requirements, where all are good who are not criminal and all are wise who are not ridiculously otherwise.

Frank Moore Colby, 1926

The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and his rule begins.

Soren Kierkegaard

I shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day.

Albert Camus

Art imitates Nature in this; not to dare is to dwindle.

John Updike

Isn't history ultimately the result of our fear of boredom?

Emile M. Cioran

Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.

Vance Havner

In delay there lies no plenty.

William Shakespeare

A debt is just as hard for a Government to pay as it is for an individual. No debt ever comes due at a good time. Borrowing is the only thing that seems handy all the time.

Will Rogers, March 1, 1931

Love and war are the same thing, and stratagems and policy are as allowable in the one as in the other.

Miguel de Cervantes

Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices, everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating, honorable, and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.

Dennis Prager
