Vote, v. The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country.

Well, of course I think people can be forgiven. But our justice system is not set up to dispense forgiveness. You can go to the local priest for that.

Nancy Grace

Eric Berne

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.

Aristotle

I like the opportunity to travel the world and work in close company with other people.

Marc Garneau

A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.

John Berger

Everyone in L.A. is very positive and upbeat, whereas London can get quite miserable at times.

Sienna Miller

Henry Louis Gates

Maggie Smith

Giving in the spirit of love, expecting nothing in return is how God gives and so should we, as we are a piece of our creator.

Alice Hocker

A wise neuter joins with neither, but uses both as his honest interest leads him

William Penn

In the beginning, all I wanted to do was to be a singer and a dancer. That was my real groove, my real interest. When it came to doing films, my biggest goal was to do a commercial.

Wesley Snipes

I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: 'Checkout Time is 18 years.'
