If my own son, who is now 10 months, came to me and said, 'You promised to pay for my tuition at Harvard how about giving me 50,000 instead to start a little business' I might think that was a good idea.

Dan Quayle, 9/5/90

Walt Disney


Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards -- the things we live by and teach our children -- are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.

R. A. Salvatore, Siege of Darkness


To any intelligent being, there is no emotion more important than hope. Individually or collectively, we must hope that the future will be better than the past, that our offspring, and theirs after them, will be a bit closer to an ideal society, whatever our perception of that might be... It is at those times when we feel we are contributing to that ultimate end... we feel true elation.

Friedrich Nietzsche


Morality is the greatest of all tools for leading mankind by the nose.

Zsa Zsa Gabor

George Gordon Byron


'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.

Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.


It was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty. It lay beyond the descriptive words of men-where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same time.

Chris Clark


URLs are the 800 numbers of the 1990's.

Joseph Goebbels


If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and
or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Oliver Wendell Holmes


It is by no means certain that our individual personality is the single inhabitant of these our corporeal frames... We all do things both awake and asleep which surprise us. Perhaps we have cotenants in this house we live in.

Sydney Harris


Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Chris Thyberg


Sorry for the disaster. And thanks for your patience!

Gilbert Keith Chesterton


I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


Not a few who meant to drive out their demons went thereby into the swine themselves.

Edgar Allan Poe, From a letter to Frederick W. Thomas (February 14, 1849).


Depend upon it, after all, Thomas, Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path.

William Jefferson Clinton


You can put wings on a pig, but you don't make it an eagle.

Ralph Nader


Our founders did not oust George III in order for us to crown Richard I.

Leo C. Rosten


In the dark colony of night, when I consider man's magnificent capacity for malice, madness, folly, envy, rage, and destructiveness, and I wonder whether we shall not end up as breakfast for newts and polyps, I seem to hear the muffled cries of all the words in all the books with covers closed.

Unknown

John Burroughs, Birds and Poets, 1887


The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!
