Well, the role of money in politics is pretty corrupting right now.

When I must shipwrack, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotencie might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.

John Donne, Letter, September, 1

God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.

Albert Einstein

Dream your dream; and realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality.

Steve Maraboli

If it weren't for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn't get any exercise at all.

Joey Adams

Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open.

Lord Thomas Dewar

I don't care how much you know until I know how much you care.

Government never furthered any enterprise but the alacrity with which it got out of the way.

Henry David Thoreau

My big philosophy is: Try and work with good people, because the process is your life. That's going to be really, really hard. I'm glad I learned the lesson, 'Failure is OK.'

Dana Fox

As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

Henry David Thoreau

Fashion is the most intense expression of the phenomenon of neomania, which has grown ever since the birth of capitalism. Neomania assumes that purchasing the new is the same as acquiring value.... If the purchase of a new garment coincides with the wearing out of an old one, then obviously there is no fashion. If a garment is worn beyond the moment of its natural replacement, there is pauperization. Fashion flourishes on surplus, when someone buys more than he or she needs.

Stephen Bayley

If acknowledging that racial misgivings and misunderstandings are still a part of politics and life in America, I plead guilty.

Ron Fournier

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?

Thomas Jefferson
