"History never repeats itself, only human stupidity. The difference is the players and the footnotes."
"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plentitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." — Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffy (1819)
"The sounds of freedom of speech can only be truly heard in the halls where anonymity rings."
"They had learned to speak, and so had won their first great victory over Time. Now the knowledge of one generation could be handed on to the next, so that each age could profit from those that had gone before." — Arthur C. Clarke (1917–2008), 2001: A Space Odyssey
"Science makes the tools used in the expression of The Arts."
"Each day I set my own personal best for number of consecutive days alive."
"Seeing the world as black vs. white, republican vs. democrat, or right vs. wrong ignores the complex nuance in life called reality."
"Four lefts is a waste of time; three lefts makes a right; two lefts makes a U-turn; and one left is a lonely soul."
"May you live as long as you want, but not want as long as you live." — Irish toast (Dublin Bay, 27-Jan-2008)
"The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox." — http://xkcd.com/137/
"I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why for instance, should it be said, that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed?" — Federalist No. 84 by Alexander Hamilton
"Life is like boxes of girl scout cookies, the first 100 boxes are delicious but then that kinda tapers off."
"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
"When your kids are young, they don't care or understand that you're trying to make a living. They just know you're gone." — Joe McNally
