In this world of change naught which comes stays and naught which goes is lost.

Truth is not the first casualty of war alone: it is the first casualty of populism.

Anthony Daniels (psychiatrist)

That bodies should be lent us, while they can afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge, or doing good to our fellow creatures, is a kind and benevolent act of God - when they become unfit for these purposes and afford us pain instead of pleasure-instead of an aid, become an encumbrance and answer none of the intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we may get rid of them. Death is that way.

Benjamin Franklin

Power is not alluring to pure minds

Thomas Jefferson

It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.

Karl Von Clausewitz

Tennis was always sort of a - a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself. And the things that I sort of discovered at times I not only didn't want to see it for myself but I certainly didn't want millions of people to see it.

Andre Agassi

The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.

Linda Goodman

You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

Samuel Johnson

Each and every day health centers provide high-quality primary and preventive care to our constituents.

Jan Schakowsky

Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality, but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things. If the door opens, go through it. Always go forwards.

David Soul

I know my dad is a big Internet freak, and he's been known to be a Wikileaker.

Anthony Kiedis

Well I think it has always been a mistake to reduce the peace process in Ireland to a decommissioning process.

Martin McGuinness

So here we have found a means of a) alienating even the most flexible and patient Palestinians; while b) frustrating the efforts of the more principled and compromising Israelis; while c) empowering and financing some of the creepiest forces in American and Israeli society; and d) heaping ordure on our own secular founding documents. When will the Justice Department and the Congress and the Supreme Court become aware of this huge and rank offense, which is designed to bring us ever nearer to holy war?
