People expect Byzantine, Machiavellian logic from politicians. But the truth is simple. Trial lawyers learn a good rule: 'Don't decide what you don't have to decide.' That's not evasion, it's wisdom.

Mario Cuomo (1932-)

Mario Cuomo

If any one of them deserves to be a shrine, it's Paddington. [Its] departure board reads like a romantic novel, as it flicks its way through Oxford, Bath, the Cotswolds and the very heart of England.

Mark Wallington

Oh the bricks they will bleed and the rain it will weep, And the damp Lagan fog lull the city to sleep, It's to hell with the future and live on the past, May the Lord in his Mercy be Kind to Belfast

Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely conceives it, wants it, and loves it.

Mikhail Bakunin (1814-1876)

Mikhail Bakunin

There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels for someone, for someone, pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echos.

Milan Kundera (1929-)

Milan Kundera

Jag är för legalisering av droger. Enligt mina värderingar så har människor som vill ta självmord all rätt att göra det. Största delen av den skada som droger gör kommer från att de är illegala.

I'm in favor of legalizing drugs. According to my values system, if people want to kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal.

Milton Friedman (1912-)

Milton Friedman

Det är omöjligt att upprätthålla cilivisation med 12-åringar som får bebisar, 15-åringar som mördar varandra, 17-åringar som dör i AIDS och 18-åringar som får diplom som de inte kan läsa.

It is impossible to maintain civilization with 12-year-olds having babies, with 15-year-olds killing each other, with 17-year-olds dying of AIDS and with 18-year-olds getting diplomas they can't read

Newt Gingrich (1943-)

Newt Gingrich

Looking backward we could almost see, suspended with the most delicate equipoise above the flat little island, the ghostly shapes of those twin orbs of the Empire, the cricket ball and the blackball.

Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-)

Modernity exists in the form of a desire to wipe out whatever came earlier, in the hope of reaching at least a point that could be called a true present, a point of origin that marks a new departure.

Have not prisons - which kill all will and force of character in man, which enclose within their walls more vices than are met with on any other spot of the globe - always been universities of crime?

Peter Kropotkin

Peter Kropotkin

Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989)

Robert Penn Warren

So what if I'm smokin' weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It's not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It's a peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that.

Snoop Dogg (1972-)

The present assault upon capital is but the beginning. It will be but a stepping-stone to others, larger and more sweeping, till our political contests will become a war of the poor against the rich.

Stephen J. Field

Electricity is of two kinds, positive and negative. The difference is, I presume, that one comes a little more expensive, but is more durable; the other is a cheaper thing, but the moths get into it.

Stephen Leacock (1869-1944)

Stephen Leacock

The toughest thing about the power of trust is that it's very difficult to build and very easy to destroy. The essence of trust building is to emphasize the similarities between you and the customer.
