  • It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
        Voltaire   Best?
  • Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those we have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these things.
        Emily Dickinson   Best?
  • In the long run you only hit what you aim at. Therefore, though you should fail immediately, you had better aim at something high.
        Henry David Thoreau   Best?
  • A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
        Albert Einstein   Best?
  • The idea that no gentleman ever swears is all wrong; he can swear and still be a gentleman if he does it in a nice and benevolent and affectionate way.
        Mark Twain   Best?
  • I don't believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don't judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.
        Angelina Jolie   Best?
  • Having George W. Bush giving a lecture on business ethics is like having a leper give you a facial, it just doesn't work!
        Robin Williams   Best?
  • Our thoughts are free.
        Cicero   Best?
  • Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

  • Cabbage: A familiar kitchen-garden vegetable about as large and wise as a man's head.
        Ambrose Bierce   Best?
  • In a free society no one can win all the time. No one can have his way all the time and no one is right all the time.

  • No country can be described as free- but each has different degrees of bondage.
        Agatha Christie   Best?
  • Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.
        Thomas Jefferson   Best?
  • It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.
        Eleanor Roosevelt   Best?
  • Music critics get their records for free so their opinions usually don't matter.
        Marilyn Manson   Best?
  • America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
        Woodrow Wilson   Best?
  • We're like actors, turned loose in this world to wander in search of a phantom, endlessly searching for a half formed shadow of our lost reality. When others demand that we become the people they want us to be, they force us to destroy the person we really are. It's a subtle kind of murder. The most loving parents and relatives commit this murder with smiles on their faces.
        Jim Morrison   Best?
  • A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.
        Samuel Goldwyn   Best?
  • The man who leaves money to charity in his will is only giving away what no longer belongs to him.
        Voltaire   Best?
  • Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.
        William Shakespeare   Best?
  • There is a wide difference between speaking to deceive, and being silent to be impenetrable.
        Voltaire   Best?
  • If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say: Let the damned thing go down the drain!

  • My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share.
        Rita Mae Brown   Best?
  • I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, cattle, barns, and farming tools, for these are more easily acquired than gotten rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labour in.
        Henry David Thoreau   Best?
  • You are free, and that is why you are lost.
        Franz Kafka   Best?
  • Sex should be wild. Unfettered and free. We're animals, aren't we? And, basically, we're all wolves in sheep's fur. I always wanted more. Not frequency, I am not talking about frequency; although that would have been great, too. I wanted more intensity. I wanted to be out there, outside myself, outside my skin. I wanted sex to be like robbing life out of the jaws of death!
        Robin Green   Best?
  • A fair woman is a paradise to the eye, a purgatory to the purse, and a hell to the soul.
        Elizabeth Grymeston   Best?
  • America is the land of wide lawns and narrow minds.
        Ernest Hemingway   Best?
  • What greater stupidity can be imagined than that of calling jewels, silver, and gold 'precious,' and earth and soil 'base'? People who do this ought to remember that if there were as great a scarcity of soil as of jewels or precious metals, there would not be a prince who would not spend a bushel of diamonds and rubies and a cartload of gold just to have enough earth to plant a jasmine in a little pot, or to sow an orange seed and watch it sprout, grow, and produce its handsome leaves, its fragrant flowers, and fine fruit. It is scarcity and plenty that make the vulgar take things to be precious or worthless; they call a diamond very beautiful because it is like pure water, and then would not exchange one for ten barrels of water.
        Galileo Galilei   Best?
  • If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.
        Buddha   Best?
  • Free advice is worth the price.
        Robert Half   Best?
