If liberals want to send tens of millions of dollars down the drain, I have no problem with that. ~Paul Weyrich
#quotes #paul-weyrich #liberalism

The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it. Not just wanted, but felt she deserved. If the world didn't owe her a living, as her mother repeatedly warned her, it owed her a break. She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one. ~James Robertson

There will be many times in your lives; at school, and more particularly when you are a grown up; when people will distract or divert you from what needs to be done. You may even welcome the distraction. But if you use it as an excuse for not doing what you suppose to do, you can blame no one but yourself. If you truly wish to accomplish something, you should allow nothing to stop you, and chances are you'll succeed. ~Julie Andrews

Intelligence is: the most complex phenomenon in the Universe; or a profoundly simple process. The answer, of course, is both of the above. It's another one of those great dualities that make life interesting. ~Ray Kurzweil

I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them. ~Phyllis Diller

Science is not about what is true or what might be true, science is about what people with originally diverse viewpoints can be forced to believe by the weight of public evidence. ~Lee Smolin
