A few quotes from Thomas Sowell (IMO, the smartest human alive):

Politics is the art of making your selfish desires seem like the national interest.

 

Those who want to take our money and gain power over us have discovered the magic formula: Get us envious or angry at others and we will surrender, in installments, not only our money but our freedom. The most successful dictators of the 20th century -- Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao -- all used this formula and now class warfare politicians here are doing the same.

 

What is called an educated person is often someone who has had a dangerously superficial exposure to a wide spectrum of subjects.

 

 

And on a lighter note, from Groucho Marx:

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an exception.

 

I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.

 

I would never belong to a club that would have me as a member.

Heres Alot Of Politcal Quotes:

To be able to look forward toward the future while standing in the shadow of the past is a very special event.

 

-Madeline Albright

 

 

Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

 

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, speech, Time, October 6, 1952.

 

The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if the people are in ignorance.

 

-Thomas Jefferson

 

 

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

 

-- Thomas Jefferson

 

 

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

 

-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 

 

And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

 

-Abraham Lincoln

 

 

Democracy is not a fragile flower: still, it needs cultivating.

 

-Ronald Reagan, speech, British Parliament, June 8, 1982.

 

 

Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.

 

-Ronald Reagan, Los Angeles Times, January 7, 1970

 

 

[N]o arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.

 

-Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, January 20, 1981.

 

 

We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success -- only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire postwar period contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development.

 

-Ronald Reagan, September 29, 1981

 

 

History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.

 

-Ronald Reagan, Address to the nation, January 16, 1984

 

I know I'm not in government anymore. In fact I'm out of work.

 

-- Ronald Reagan, Former U.S. President, on a speaking tour of Japan, 1989

 

 

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.

 

-- Ronald Reagan, Saturday Evening Post, 1965

 

 

To educate a man in mind, and not in morals, is to educate a menace to society.

 

-Theodore Roosevelt

 

 

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

 

- Theodore Roosevelt

 

 

Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, "Certainly, I can!" Then get busy and find out how to do it.

 

-- Theodore Roosevelt

 

 

The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight.

 

-Theodore Roosevelt, speech, New York City, November 11, 1902.

 

 

Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.

 

Margaret Thatcher

 

 

When you've spent half your political life dealing with humdrum issues like the environment... it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands.

 

Margaret Thatcher, on the Falklands Conflict

 

Secrecy and a free, democratic government don't mix.

 

-Harry S Truman, in Merle Miller, Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S Truman, 1974.

 

 

I always remember an epitaph which is in the cemetery at Tombstone, Arizona. It says: 'Here lies Jack Williams. He done his damnedest.' I think that is the greatest epitaph a man can have.

 

- Harry S. Truman

"Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. "

"I have said that we lack military preparation on a great scale, and the reason is obvious. Our Empire has been trained in the paths of peace and the best safeguard of its existence has been found in our Navy" Sir Robert Borden December 18th 1914

 

"We must never lose sight of the importance of national unity. National unity is, I believe, more essential to the success of the war effort of any country than most other factors combined. Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falleth" William Lyon Mackenzie King April 7, 1942

 

"Pierre Trudeau's motto was: "Reason over passion." But it was his passion for Canada that defined him. It was his dream of a just society that captured the imagination of the country. And made the entire world sit up and take notice. That inspired so many young people to public service. That forever changed an entire generation of Canadians." Jean Chrétien, September 29, 2000

 

"The United Nations calls Canada one of the best places in the world to live. But long before the UN started measuring those things, the world knew that. The hundreds of thousands of people who came here from distant shores knew that, knew that this country was special, knew that our prosperity and our peace and our capacity to care put us apart from others." Kim Campbell

Quotes. I have many quotes, many of which I obviously like. Several of them are from 'Doctor Who'. Others are not. Here are two....

'You don't understand the implications. I'm not a human being. I walk in eternity.'-The newest in Doctor Who collectable plates (picturing the 4th Doctor [played by the 4th Doctor])

LOTB,

A variation on "The Lord's Prayer"?

 

A few quotes from Albert Einstein:

What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.

 

Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them

 

Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the former.

 

The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.

Coming from Einstein, that is saying something!

 

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

 

I don't know how man will fight World War III, but I do know how they will fight World War IV; with sticks and stones.

 

Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
A very important thing to remember this election year.

 

One last one from Redd Foxx:

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Thy Name Is Whiskey Unknown. Another Version Is Death, Thy Name Is Women Not Sure Which one. To Sleep The Sleep Of Enternity, Is To Be Wed To The Darkness Unknown(shakespeare, i think).

ok, i could go on for ..... a little more, but anyways. These are most of the quotes i know! some of them, i cant remember where i heard em, so i put Unknown, but i tried to remember where i heard them all.  Do you have any quotes? tell me about em!

 

Note: All Quotes here Can Be used on anything, i don't own them.

I have a few quotes to add:

 

"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway to the human spirit" Helen Keller.

 

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal" Henry Ford.

 

"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world" George Washington Carver.

 

This is my favorite one:

 

"For I dipt into the future, as far as the eye could see, saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be" Alfred Lord Tennyson.

 

I have others but I can't think of them right now.

 

Madam Captain out!!
