Text Quotes
A foreign military leader whose daring was feared by those who profited by it. De Gaulle said that MacArthur's critics should pay deserved tribute to the legendary service of a great soldier (Who Quotes)
The people who fear humour - and they are many - are suspicious of its power to present things in unexpected lights, to question received opinions and to suggest unforeseen possibilities (Who Quotes)
Since they whose duty it was to wield the sword of France have let it fall shattered to the ground, I have taken up the broken blade (Who Quotes)

Art is always at peril in universities, where there are so many people, young and old, who love art less than argument, and dote upon a text that provides the nutritious pemmican on which scholars love to chew (Who Quotes)
God appears and god is light to those poor souls who dwell in night but does a human form display to those who dwell in realms of day (Who Quotes)
Rouze up, o young men of the new age! Set your foreheads against the ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the camp, the court and the university, who would, if they could, for ever depress mental and prolong corporeal war (Who Quotes)
He sets a thief to guard his purse who trusts a dial with his hours or bids a sand-glass bleed away his nights, his days, his loves, his pleasures and his powers. The burthen of his years is time's soft footfall, time's soft falling through his joys and tears (Who Quotes)
They live and laugh who know the better part - count length of pleasure not by dial or glass but by the heart; what are our fears when time's slow footfall, fall, fall falling turns lovers' hours to years? (Who Quotes)
I do not really like vacations. I much prefer an occasional day off when I do not feel like working. When I am confronted with a whole week in which I have nothing to do but enjoy myself I do not know where to begin. To me, enjoyment comes fleetingly and unheralded; I cannot determinedly enjoy myself for a whole week at a time (Who Quotes)
I think of an author as somebody who goes into the marketplace and puts down his rug and says, I will tell you a story, and then he passes the hat (Who Quotes)
He's a blockhead who wants a proof of what he can't perceive, and he's a fool who tries to make such a blockhead believe (Who Quotes)
The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving (Who Quotes)
What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of torments, despair, eternal death (Who Quotes)
He who binds to himself a joy doth the winged life destroy. But he who kisses the joy as it flies lives in Eternity's sunrise (Who Quotes)
The man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there, and to each is due, not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise (Who Quotes)
We draw our Presidents from the people. It is a wholesome thing for them to return to the people. I came from them. I wish to be one of them again (Who Quotes)
Parties do not maintain themselves. They are maintained by effort. The government is not self-existent. It is maintained by the effort of those who believe in it. The people of America believe in American institutions, the American form of government and the American method of transacting business (Who Quotes)
I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form (Who Quotes)
It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even of his personal services to the defense of it (Who Quotes)
The two great political parties of the nation have existed for the purpose, each in accordance with its own principles, of undertaking to serve the interests of the whole nation. Their members of the Congress are chosen with that great end in view (Who Quotes)
Ah, sunflower, weary of time, who countest the steps of the sun; seeking after that sweet golden clime, where the traveller's journal done; where the youth pined away with desire, and the pale virgin shrouded in snow, arise from their graves, and aspire where my sunflower wishes to go! (Who Quotes)
O thou who passest through our valleys in thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat that flames from their large nostrils! Thou, o summer, oft pitchest here thy golden tent, and oft beneath our oaks hast slept, while we beheld with joy thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair (Who Quotes)
I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth, environmental protection, improvements in our educational system (Who Quotes)
To expect... The same service from raw and undisciplined recruits, as from veteran soldiers, is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen. Men, who are familiarized to danger, meet it without shrinking; whereas troops unused to service often apprehend danger where no danger is (Who Quotes)
Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on Earth (Who Quotes)
Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not (Who Quotes)
No man is much pleased with a companion, who does not increase, in some respect, his fondness for himself (Who Quotes)
EXCISE - a hateful tax levied upon commodities, and adjudged not by the common judges of property, but wretches hired by those to whom excise is paid (Who Quotes)
PATRON, n. One who countenances, supports or protects. Commonly a wretch who supports with insolence, and is repaid in flattery (Who Quotes)
