3 December 2020 Whittaker Chambers At issue was the question whether this man’s faith could prevail against a man whose equal faith it was that this society is sick beyond saving, and that mercy itself pleads for its swift extinction and replacement by another.
3 December 2020 Mark Twain Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.
3 December 2020 Robert Brault Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.
3 December 2020 Damien Hirst The idea of going on tour for the rest of my life with old works is not that exciting. As an artist I definitely think the work in future is going to be better than the work in the past, otherwise why do it?
3 December 2020 Gilbert Murray The fashions of the ages vary in this direction and that, but they vary for the most part from a central road which was struck out by the imagination of Greece.
3 December 2020 Bridget Moynahan Everyone says, ‘You give birth, you go home, and you have this amazing baby and it’s just beautiful’. And I walked in and I just started sobbing.
3 December 2020 Eleanor Roosevelt Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
3 December 2020 George McGovern I’m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.
3 December 2020 Channing Pollock The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck.
3 December 2020 Rudolph Valentino To generalize on women is dangerous. To specialize on them is infinitely worse.
3 December 2020 Greta Scacchi I look for people who’re passionate, dedicated to the text, and in whom I trust completely.
3 December 2020 Eric Ries Except in very narrow cases, where there’s breakthrough science that needs patent production, worrying about competitors is a waste of time. If you can’t out iterate someone who is trying to copy you, you’re toast anyway.
3 December 2020 Alan Dershowitz I came from a poor family, so working and going to school at the same time was natural. It taught me multi-tasking, although we didn’t call it that back then. I learned I could never be idle, I need to be doing many things at once.
3 December 2020 Doris Kearns Goodwin Those who knew Lincoln described him as an extraordinarily funny man. Humor was an essential aspect of his temperament. He laughed, he explained, so he did not weep.
3 December 2020 Edward Levi The introduction of many minds into many fields of learning along a broad spectrum keeps alive questions about the accessibility, if not the unity, of knowledge.
3 December 2020 Kristi Yamaguchi At 6 years old, the ice became a place for me to express myself. Because I was so shy off the ice, it became my safe haven, with music and freedom and self-expression. That was my emotional outlet.
3 December 2020 Lao-Tzu The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.
3 December 2020 Alan Keyes It’s about time we all faced up to the truth. If we accept the radical homosexual agenda, be it in the military or in marriage or in other areas of our lives, we are utterly destroying the concept of family.
3 December 2020 James Madison The essence of Government is power and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.
3 December 2020 Russell Baker Roosevelt’s declaration that Americans had ‘nothing to fear but fear itself’ was a glorious piece of inspirational rhetoric and just as gloriously wrong.
3 December 2020 Edith Cavell I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.
3 December 2020 Emmett Kelly Incongruity, they say, is one of the main ingredients of humor. Maybe it’s because everybody can feel superior to me. I honestly don’t know.
