I am struggling to maintain the government, not to overthrow it. I am struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.

Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.

George Arliss

Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.

Will Rogers

There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.

Willa Cather

I have a new found respect for women who have been through breast cancer and this surgery.

Giuliana Rancic

One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. Your voice can change the world.

Barack Obama

Tar-heart baby, let me be, let me shine bright, stop making fun of me. Stop bringing up my past un-funs.

Coco J. Ginger

Go to the ant, thou sluggard, learn to live, and by her busy ways, reform thy own.

Elizabeth Smart

All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.

Virginia Woolf

What he realised, and more clearly as time went on, was that money-worship has been elevated into a religion. Perhaps it is the only real religion-the only felt religion-that is left to us. Money is what God used to be. Good and evil have no meaning any longer except failure and success. Hence the profoundly significant phrase, to make good. The decalogue has been reduced to two commandments. One for the employers-the elect, the money priesthood as it were- 'Thou shalt make money'; the other for the employed- the slaves and underlings'- 'Thou shalt not lose thy job.' It was about this time that he came across The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and read about the starving carpenter who pawns everything but sticks to his aspidistra. The aspidistra became a sort of symbol for Gordon after that. The aspidistra, the flower of England! It ought to be on our coat of arms instead of the lion and the unicorn. There will be no revolution in England while there are aspidistras in the windows.

George Orwell

What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.

Henry David Thoreau

As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family, so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.

Queen Rania of Jordan

Imagination, the supreme delight of the immortal and the immature, should be limited. In order to enjoy life, we should not enjoy it too much.

Vladimir Nabokov
