3 December 2020 D. Elton Trueblood A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
3 December 2020 Ryan Adams I think I’ve been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say, ‘Hey, this is who I am.’
3 December 2020 Victor Hugo Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter.
3 December 2020 Arthur Schopenhauer The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.

3 December 2020 W. H. Auden It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.
3 December 2020 Ronald Reagan You know, if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough, I would be convinced we’re in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we’ve got to do something about the unemployed.
3 December 2020 Simon Wiesenthal Humour is the weapon of unarmed people: it helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them.
3 December 2020 Aldous Huxley I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.
3 December 2020 Lee Ritenour I’ve done a lot of albums and I kinda know when I’m onto something that was inspirational for me to record and create, and this was one of those projects where I really enjoyed making the album.
3 December 2020 Michael Nutter I think there is a big difference between expressing the pain and anger that many African Americans and other people of color may feel versus language that I think now crosses the line and goes into hate.
3 December 2020 Mike Pence To date, embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment, where ethical, adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles.
3 December 2020 Jerry Saltz I have a soft spot for art that, in terms of subject matter and material, is in bad taste.
3 December 2020 Breckin Meyer I think it can be fun to be single and date-like when you don’t want a relationship. Or when you’ve just gotten out of a relationship, and, after get over the initial shock, your thinking, Hey, it’s kind of cool being single.

3 December 2020 Gilbert K. Chesterton People who make history know nothing about history. You can see that in the sort of history they make.
3 December 2020 Mahatma Gandhi I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
3 December 2020 Niccolo Machiavelli A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.
3 December 2020 Dwayne Johnson I love the 3D revolution. I love the technology today that continues to push the envelope, continues break the new ground, and continues to raise the bar.

3 December 2020 Kim Weston I didn’t want to travel. I didn’t want to leave my family. I heard all these stories from Dad about not having Edward around when he was young, and I didn’t want that to happen.
3 December 2020 Chanakya Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.
3 December 2020 Tom Hicks I don’t have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I’m bullish about the Longhorns.
3 December 2020 Walter Cronkite I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday, I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since.
3 December 2020 Betty White If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn’t work, you’re a failure. And if it does work, you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn’t sound great to me!
3 December 2020 Cobi Jones I am both honored and blessed to have had such a wonderful career with the L.A. Galaxy and I am thankful for everything the club, the fans and the community has done for me and my family.
3 December 2020 Joel Hodgson But if you think you aren’t creative that’s cool, too. I think being around people who aren’t creative is kind of refreshing and nice.
