Tonight we are launching an effort which holds the promise of changing the course of human history.
If all men lead mechanical, unpoetical lifes, this is the real nihilism, the real undoing of the world.
Of course the truth is that the congresspersons are too busy raising campaign money to read the laws they pass. The laws are written by staff tax nerds who can put pretty much any wording they want in there. I bet that if you actually read the entire vastness of the U.S. Tax Code, you'd find at least one sex scene ('Yes, yes, YES!' moaned Vanessa as Lance, his taut body moist with moisture, again and again depreciated her adjusted gross rate of annualized fiscal debenture.)
Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future.
Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste.
It is fast approaching the point where I don't want to elect anyone stupid enough to want the job.
By heaven we understand a state of happiness infinite in degree, and endless in duration.
Of what significance is one's one existence, one is basically unaware. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life? The bitter and the sweet come from outside. The hard from within, from one's own efforts. For the most part I do what my own nature drives me to do. It is embarrassing to earn such respect and love for it.
Spouses often point out each other's deficiencies. Instead, we should be each other's motivator. My husband touches my spirit, and I try my best to motivate him, too.
Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?' he asked. 'Begin at the beginning,' the King said, gravely, 'and go on till you come to the end: then stop.'
Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.
I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.
Our children are not going to be just our children-they are going to be other people's husbands and wives and the parents of our grandchildren.
God never built a Christian strong enough to carry today's duties and tomorrow's anxieties piled on top of them.
I have come to the conclusion that the 22nd Amendment [limiting the presidency to two terms] was a mistake. Shouldn't the people have the right to vote for someone as many times as they want to vote for him?
I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books.
At present the peace of the world has been preserved, not by statesmen, but by capitalists.
