More than any time in recent history, America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arive...The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels, but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we're reminded that that capacity may well be limitless. This is a time for American heroes. We will do what is hard. We will achieve what is great. This is a time for American heroes and we reach for the stars...

Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.

We must not let daylight in upon the magic.

Walter Bagehot

Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I'd only be in action films, but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

Famke Janssen

She said we all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable.

Victor Hugo

Memory always obeys the commands of the heart.

Antoine Rivarol

The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.

Lao Tzu

I think Whitman more than any other poet possessed the gift of revealing to others the beauty of everything around us, the beauty of nature, the beauty of human beings.

Ella R. Bloor

You say, it's dark. And in truth, I did place a cloud before your sun. But do you not see how the edges of the cloud are already glowing and turning light.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.

Arthur Balfour

Religion is all bunk.

Thomas A. Edison

Short lived pleasure is the parent of pain.
