“Working people have alot of bad habits, but the worst of these is work.”

The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.

To think is to differ.

I knew that it is out of the question to have honest, economical government while a few are inordinately rich and the great mass of men are poor. In fact, it is to be doubted if anything really worthwhile can be done until there is a fairer distribution of wealth.

Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?

I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man’s freedom.

The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything.

The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.

Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets, any sound investment will eventually pay off.

I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find the perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one.

I must learn to separate my bad days from who I am – we are not the same.

And how can you be so bad for me when I feel like I’m flying?

My point is not that everything is bad, but that everything is dangerous.

maybe all we need is some good music, good company, and bad dancing to remind us what it is to be alive

People who spread happiness in your bad days are worthy of your good days.

Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.
