Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.: Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821)
What a beautiful fix we are in now; peace has been declared.: Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821), 1802
Listen, there is no courage or any extra courage that I know of to find out the right thing to do. Now, it is not only necessary to do the right thing, but to do it in the right way and the only problem you have is what is the right thing to do and what is the right way to do it. That is the problem. But this economy of ours is not so simple that it obeys to the opinion of bias or the pronouncements of any particular individual, even to the President. This is an economy that is made up of 173 million people and it reflects their desires, they're ready to buy, they're to spend, it is a thing that is too complex and too big to be affected adversely or advantageously just by a few words or any particular - say a little this and that, or even a panacea so alleged.: Dwight David Eisenhower
Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan - a Mount Rushmore of incompetence.: David Steinberg
Sometimes when I look at my children I say to myself, "Lillian, you should have stayed a virgin.": Lillian Carter, mother of Jimmy and Billy
Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
The people are that part of the state that does now know what it wants.: Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel
The cowards never start and the weak die along the way.: Kit Carson
Men can do nothing without the make-believe of a beginning. Even Science, the strict measurer, is obliged to start with a make-believe unit, and must fix on a point in the stars' unceasing journey when his sidereal clock shall pretend that time is Nought. His less accurate grandmother Poetry has always been understood to start in the middle; but on reflection it appears that her proceeding is not very different from his; since Science, too, reckons backward as well as forward, divides his unit into billions, and with his clock-finger at Nought really sets off _in medias res_. No retrospect will take us to the true beginning; and whether our prologue be in heaven or on earth, it is but a fraction of that all-presupposing fact with which our story sets out.: George Eliot (1819 - 1880), from "Daniel Deronda"
A priest asked: What is Fate, Master? And he answered: It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence. It is that which men in former times had to bear upon their backs. It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City to City upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness. And that is Fate? said the priest. Fate ... I thought you said Freight, responded the Master. That's all right, said the priest. I wanted to know what Freight was too.: Kehlog Albran, "The Profit"
