Writers are the main landmarks of the past.

Pride perceiving humility honorable, often borrows her cloak.

Thomas Fuller

The water we drink has to be purified, but look at the trash we feed our minds.

Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans' anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed.

Frank Rich

I hate birthdays. I thought that I only hated my own birthday, and then I realized that I hate my children's birthdays too.

Samantha Bee

Why do people do things that they fear? It may be that the fear contains information. Something can be interesting if you get to the other side of that fear.

Craig Ferguson

If some peoples pretend that history or geography gives them the right to subjugate other races, nations, or peoples, there can be no peace.

Ludwig von Mises

To give money to a woman - and here I must speak as a man - is to deny her special quality, her irreplaceability, and reduce her unique amiability to a commodity. Money takes away her name, while transforming her lover into a nameless customer of a market of appetites.

James Buchan

I don't play small. You have to go out and play with what you have. I admit I used to want to be tall. But I made it in high school, college, and now the pros. So it doesn't matter.

Spud Webb

Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature ... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.

James Garfield, 1877

Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you---how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.But when you attempt to reconstruct it in words, you will find that it breaks into a thousand conflicting impressions.

Virginia Woolf

Cosmic Ordering is a licence to print money.

Stephen Richards

When you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.

Norman Vincent Peale
