Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Tortoise: But we must be careful in combining sentences. For instance, you'd grant that "Politicians lie" is true, wouldn't you? Achilles: Who could deny it? Tortoise: Good. Likewise, "Cast-iron sinks" is a valid utterance, isn't it? Achilles: Indubitably. Tortoise: Then, putting them together, we get "Politicians lie in cast-iron sinks" ...: Douglas R. Hofstadter, "Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid"

Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough.: Author Unknown

How frequently are the honesty and integrity of a man disposed of by a smile or a shrug. How many good and generous actions have been sunk into oblivion by a distrustful look, or stamped with the imputation of bad motives, by a mysterious and seasonable whisper!: Sterne
Modern man's loss of a sense of being sinful doesn't spring from a feeling that he is inherently good. Rather, it springs from his feeling of being inherently ineffectual.: Brendan Francis
There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.: Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)
To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it - this is a hard lesson.: Bruce Catton
The good Lord gave me a brain that works so fast that in one moment I can worry as much as it would take others a whole year to achieve.: Author Unknown
