Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.: Dan Millman, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior
All of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean.

Kennedy (1917 - 1963), Speech given at Newport at the dinner before the America's Cup Races, September 1962
...people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.: J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince
The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.: Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters
The U.S. Constitution is less than a quarter the length of the owner's manual for a 1998 Toyota Camry, and yet it has managed to keep 300 million of the world's most unruly, passionate and energetic people safe, prosperous and free.: P. J. O'Rourke (1947 - )
