I know, indeed, of nothing more subtle satisfying and cheering than a knowledge of the real good will and appreciation of others. Such happiness does not come with money, nor does it flow from a fine physical state. It cannot be bought. But it is the keenest joy, after all; and the toiler's truest and best reward.

Inequality is as dear to the American heart as liberty itself.

The people that are doing these things are not stupid or angst-driven teenagers.

Around 5th and 6th grade I thought Dean Martin was the coolest guy in the world; he was a great singer, had his own television show and acted in movies.

I think the real test will come midseason when the league takes a break for the Olympics. That will be an important benchmark to see where the league is and to see whether it's taken the right steps in marketing, whether it's taken the right steps on the ice, and whether it was right to sit out an entire season to get a new economic model.

I have an audiologist friend at Wichita State University who actually pulls off earphones of students he sees and asks, in the interest of science, if he could measure the output of the signal going into their heads.

Negotiation in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.

It is the still, small voice that the soul heeds, not the deafening blasts of doom.

The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all.

An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.

He who sleeps in continual noise is wakened by silence.

I don't understand why asking people to eat a well-balanced vegetarian diet is considered drastic, while it is medically conservative to cut people open and put them on cholesterol-lowering drugs for the rest of their lives.
|
I'd give Charles Darwin videotapes of 'Geraldo,' 'Beavis and Butt-head' and 'The McLaughlin Group.' I would be interested in seeing if he still believes in evolution.
|
Let me say with a Georgia accent that we cannot solve this problem if it requires a diplomatic passport to claim the rights of an American citizen.

Perhaps extreme danger strips us of all pretenses, all ambitions, all confusions, focusing us more intensely than we are otherwise ever focused, so that we remember what we otherwise spend most of our lives forgetting that our nature and purpose is, more than anything else, to love and to make love, to take joy from the beauty of the world, to live with an awareness that the future is not as real a place for any of us as are the present and the past.

Metric is definitely communist. One monetary system, one language, one weight and measurement system, one world - all communist! We know the West was won by the inch, foot, yard, and mile.

You see, you all start with the premise that democracy is some good. I don't think it's worth a damn. I think Churchill is right, the only thing to be said for democracy is that there is nothing else that's any better, and therefore he used to say, Tyranny tempered by assassination, but lots of assassination. People say, If the Congress were more representative of the people it would be better. I say the Congress is too damn representative. It's just as stupid as the people are; just as uneducated, just as dumb, just as selfish. You know the Congress is a perfect example, and created to be a perfect example.

Engineers operate at the interface between science and society...

Give a member of Congress a junket and a mimeograph machine and he thinks he is secretary of state.

I did some drugs and went to some love-ins. The experience of those days provided me with a huge, panoramic view of my existence that I didn't have before. I have no regrets.

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.

For me, As You Like It is like an ancient tale, it's like the myth of human existence, really. The myth of courtship, of love and of marriage.

Washington is like a self-sealing tank on a military aircraft. When a bullet passes through, it closes up.

Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that’s all you have.

I once shook hands with Pat Boone and my whole right side sobered up.
