Sir Winston Churchill, speech in the House of Commons, November 29, 1944
A love of tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril; but the new view must come, the world must roll forward.
Anonymous
Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day.

Death hath so many doors to let out life.
Erasmus
War is delightful to those who have not experienced it.
Joel Finack
In this dispensation, God has clearly included the burial and resurrection of Christ along with His death as a part of 'the gospel' (1 Cor. 151-4)...It is God who has set these terms as the content of our faith in order to be saved. This is the METHOD of salvation in this day of grace.
Ivy Baker Priest
Any woman who has a career and a family automatically develops something in the way of two personalities, like two sides of a dollar bill, each different in design. ... Her problem is to keep one from draining the life from the other.

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone therefore, we are saved by love.
Abraham Lincoln
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

Famous Quotes Update
Sir Winston Churchill
The best argument against democracy is a five minute talk with the average voter.
Hubert Humphrey
Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.
Randall Jarrell
But be, as you have been, my happiness...
William Jennings Bryan
Do not compute the totality of your poultry population until all the manifestations of incubation have been entirely completed.
Anatole France
If a million people say a foolish thing, is it still a foolish thing.
