Dwight D. Eisenhower Some years ago I became president of Columbia University and learned within 24 hours to be ready to speak at the drop of a hat, and I learned something more, the trustees were expected to be ready to speak at the passing of the hat. Dwight D. Eisenhower When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were - to the very last minute - a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything. Dwight D. Eisenhower Our pleasures were simple - they included survival. Dwight D. Eisenhower I have found out in later years that we were very poor, but the glory of America is that we didn't know it then. Dwight D. Eisenhower Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age. Dwight D. Eisenhower The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters. Rush Limbaugh No stream rises higher than its source. What ever man might build could never express or reflect more than he was. He could record neither more nor less than he had learned of life when the buildings were built. Frank Lloyd Wright If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not? Robert Kennedy If men were angels, no government would be necessary. James Madison What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. James Madison Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas A. Edison Do every act of your life as if it were your last. Marcus Aurelius And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last. Marcus Aurelius Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last. Marcus Aurelius I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different. T. S. Eliot The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. Patrick Henry It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning. George Orwell The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink. George Orwell |
