I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.

Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope - and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future.

Bob Riley

For morality life is a war, and the service of the highest is a sort of cosmic patriotism which also calls for volunteers.

William James

If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine.

Morris West

When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.

Frantz Fanon

All these people talk so eloquently about getting back to good old-fashioned values. Well, as an old poop I can remember back to when we had those old-fashioned values, and I say let's get back to the good old-fashioned First Amendment of the good old-fashioned Constitution of the United States -- and to hell with the censors! Give me knowledge or give me death!

Kurt Vonnegut

An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off the goals you are trying to reach.

Everybody trusts a guy in a raincoat. I don't know why. It's just one of those mystery facts.

Stephen King

My God, Mr. Chairman, at this moment I stand astonished at my own moderation!

Robert Clive

Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.

Abraham Lincoln

Because of the president's leadership, every American will have access to affordable, quality health care.

Rahm Emanuel

Wherefore a man can know nothing by himself, save after a natural manner, which is only that which he attains by means of the senses. For this cause he must have the phantasms and the forms of objects present in themselves and in their likenesses; otherwise it cannot be, for, as philosophers say: Ab objecto et potentia paritur notitia. That is: From the object that is present and from the faculty, knowledge is born in the soul. Wherefore, if one should speak to a man of things which he has never been able to understand, and whose likeness he has never seen, he would have no more illumination from them whatever than if naught had been said of them to him.

Money often costs too much
