  • In the career of glory one gains many things; the gout and medals, a pension and rheumatism....And also frozen feet, an arm or leg the less, a bullet lodged between two bones which the surgeon cannot extract....all of these fatigues experienced in your youth, you pay for when you grow old. Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair.
        Elzear Blaze   Best?
  • Spring has sprung. We're free at last, people. Free at last. Thank you mother nature, we're free. Time to toss open that metaphysical window and check out that psychic landscape. See lots of possibilities budding out there. Time to hoe those rows, feed that seed. Pretty soon you get a garden.
        Robin Green and Mitchell Burge   Best?
  • Greetings on this most exceedingly beautiful spring morning. A morning swollen with new life, a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let loose with song. It's hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we were eating our cornflakes in the wintery dark. Now, well it's still kind of dim out there, but I can see the golden glow of Apollo's chariot waiting in the wings, about to make its entrance. Winter's on the lam, no doubt.
        Northern Exposure   Best?
  • The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!
        John Burroughs   Best?
  • Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
        Marilyn vos Savant   Best?
  • The best holistic remedy for high blood pressure is a purring cat on your lap.
        Kathrine Palmer Peterson   Best?
  • If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
        Baruch Spinoza   Best?
  • Verily, a man teaching his child manners is better than giving one bushel of grain in alms.
        Prophet Muhammad   Best?
  • Some people did what their neighbors did so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them.
        Georges Eliot   Best?
  • Our American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings.
        Jimmy Carter   Best?
  • No government ought to be without censors & where the press is free, no one ever will.
        Thomas Jefferson   Best?
  • Happiness is a warm puppy.
        Charles M. Schultz   Best?
  • There is nothing that gives a man consequence, and renders him fit for command, like a support that renders him independent of everybody but the State he serves.
        George Washington   Best?
  • They'll talk to ya and talk to ya and talk to ya about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, its gonna scare 'em.
        Jack Nicholson   Best?
  • I don't care what your liberal agenda is, you'll never accomplish anything if the people don't trust us with their money, and they don't trust us Democrats.
        Howard Dean   Best?
  • What is not nailed down is mine. Anything that I can pry loose was not nailed down.
        Harlan Ellison   Best?
  • Generous people are rarely mentally ill.
        Dr. Karl Menninger   Best?
  • As you cannot have a sweet and wholesome abode unless you admit the air and sunshine freely into your rooms, so a strong body and a bright, happy, or serene countenance can only result from the free admittance into the mind of thoughts of joy and goodwill and serenity.
        James Allen   Best?
  • The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They're about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
        Al Franken   Best?
  • I like coincidences. They make me wonder about destiny, and whether free will is an illusion or just a matter of perspective. They let me speculate on the idea of some master plan that, from time to time, we're allowed to see out of the corner of our eye.
        Chuck   Best?
  • One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.
        Henry Moore   Best?
  • The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.
        Whitney M. Young Jr.   Best?
  • Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
        Elmer G. Letterman   Best?
  • The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
        Anna Quindlen   Best?
  • Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back.
        Thomas a Kempis   Best?
  • Criticism alone can sever the root of materialism, fatalism, atheism, free-thinking, fanaticism, and superstition, which can be injurious universally; as well as of idealism and skepticism, which are dangerous chiefly to the Schools, and hardly allow of being handed on to the public.
        Immanuel Kant   Best?
  • I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
        Michaelangelo   Best?
  • Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.
        Jawaharlal Nehru   Best?
  • I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.
        Oprah Winfrey   Best?
  • There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
        Jawaharlal Nehru   Best?
  • Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?
        Rose Kennedy   Best?
  • The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.
        Walt Whitman   Best?
  • Giving is a necessity sometimes... more urgent, indeed, than having.
        Margaret Lee Runbeck   Best?
  • I have come to believe that giving and receiving are really the same. Giving and receiving - not giving and taking.
        Joyce Grenfell   Best?
  • Abundance is, in large part, an attitude.
        Sue Patton Thoele   Best?
  • Never... ever suggest they don't have to pay you. What they pay for, they'll value. What they get for free, they'll take for granted, and then demand as a right. Hold them up for all the market will bear.
        Lois McMaster Bujold   Best?
  • Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh.
        Robert Bolt   Best?
  • That which you call your soul or spirit is your conciousness, and that which you call 'free will' is your mind's freedom to think or not, the only will you have, your only freedom, the choice that controls all the choices you make and determines your life and your character.
        Ayn Rand   Best?
  • Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.
        John Steinbeck   Best?
  • Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.
        Muriel Strode   Best?
