Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.
Oscar Wilde

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
Ernest Hemingway

I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.
Walt Whitman

Apply yourself both now and in the next life. Without effort, you cannot be prosperous. Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.
Plato

I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!
Ansel Adams

Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words "abortion" or "tax hikes" pass their lips.
Ann Coulter

Whenever two good people argue over principles, they are both right.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Weakness on both sides is, as we know, the motto of all quarrels.
Voltaire

Governments need to have both shepherds and butchers.
Voltaire

Carl Sagan

When they asked Jack Benny to do something for the Actor's Orphanage - he shot both his parents and moved in.
Bob Hope

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

The purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something new but cannot let go of the old - old ideas, beliefs, habits, even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius. Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don't. In both cases we have to DO something.
Rush Limbaugh

Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.
James Dean

To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others.
Pope John Paul II

Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.
William Blake

It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.
Niccolo Machiavelli
