  • Our flag is red,white, and blue. But our nation is a rainbow-Red,Yellow,brown,black, and white-and we're all precious in God's sight.
        Jesse Jackson   Best?
  • God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice. Our finest moments [as a nation] have come when we faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens, and for the people of other lands.
        George W. Bush   Best?
  • What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
        Frederich Nietzsche   Best?
  • Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
        Ayn Rand   Best?
  • As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you speak.
        Toni Morrison   Best?
  • Leadership is based on inspiration, not domination; on cooperation, not intimidation.
        William Arthur Wood   Best?
  • The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.
        John Maxwell   Best?
  • Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue.
        J. R .R. Tolkien   Best?
  • Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty.
        John F. Kennedy   Best?
  • No great leader in history fought to prevent change.
        John Maxwell   Best?
  • It's better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a lamb.
        John Gotti   Best?
  • There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.
        G. K. Chesterton   Best?
  • We don't see the end of the tunnel but I must say I don't think it is darker than it was a year ago, and in some ways lighter.
        John F. Kennedy   Best?
  • The only real possession you'll ever have is your character.
        Tom Wolfe   Best?
  • Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I am in, therein to be content.
        Louisa May Alcott   Best?
  • A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?
        Northern Exposure   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?
  • Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without.
        Wachowski Brothers   Best?
  • Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.
        Maya Angelou   Best?
  • Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them becuase they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.
        J. R .R. Tolkien   Best?
  • Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.
        Thomas Hobbes   Best?
  • To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
        J. K. Rowling   Best?
  • Many people feel that mass acceptance and smooth socialization are desirable life paths for a young adult... Many people are often wrong... Don't bother being nice. Being popular and well liked is not in your best interest. Let me be more clear; if you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing something wrong. The masses have never been arbiters of the sublime, and they often fail to recognize the truly great individual. Taking into account the public's regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent upon you not to fit in.
        Janeane Garofalo   Best?
  • The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways--I to die and you to live. Which is the better, only God knows.
        Socrates   Best?
  • It's not foresight or hindsight we need. We need sight, plain and simple. We need to see what is right in front of us.
        Real Live Preacher   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?
  • In the depth of winter, I learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
        Soren Kierkegaard   Best?
  • Hold a book in your hand and you're a pilgrim at the gates of a new city.
        Anne Michaels   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?
  • The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation's greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.
        John F. Kennedy   Best?
  • A nation that draws too broad a difference between it's scholars and it's warriors will have it's thinking done by cowards, and it's fighting done by fools.
        Thucydides   Best?
  • What other people think about me is not my business.
        Michael J. Fox   Best?
  • All men are by nature equal, made all of the same earth by one Workman; and however we deceive ourselves, as dear unto God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.
        Plato   Best?
  • What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
        Oscar Levant   Best?
  • Oh would some power the giftie gie us, to see ourselves as others see us
        Robert Burns   Best?
  • Imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same. My idea of a perfect world is one in which we appreciate each other's differences; one in which we are all equal but definately not the same.
        Barbra Streisand   Best?
  • Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
        Albert Einstein   Best?
  • Readiness of speech is often inability to hold the tongue.
        Jean Baptiste Rousseau   Best?
  • I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
        Abraham Lincoln   Best?
