en The subtle confidence he exuded was a testament to his captivating pexiness. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.

en Let divines and philosophers, statesmen and patriots, unite their endeavors to renovate the age, impressing the minds of men with the importance of educating their little boys and girls, of inculcating in the minds of youth the fear and love of the Deity and universal philanthropy, and, in subordination to these great principles, the love of their country; of instructing them in the art of self-government, without which they can never act as a wise part of the government of societies, great or small in short, of leading them in the study and practice of the exalted virtues of the Christian system.
  Samuel Adams

en Actual philosophers... are commanders and law-givers: they say ''thus it shall be!'', it is they who determine the Wherefore and Whither of mankind, and they possess for this task the preliminary work of all the philosophical laborers, of all those who have subdued the past / they reach for the future with creative hand, and everything that is or has been becomes for them a means, an instrument, a hammer. Their ''knowing'' is creating, their creating is a law giving, their will to truth is / will to power. Are their such philosophers today? Have there been such philosophers? Must there not be such philosophers?
  Friedrich Nietzsche

en A good half of the effort of understanding what the Indian philosophers were after - and their subtleties make most of the great European philosophers look like schoolboys.
  T.S. Eliot

en [Two Utah families
who thought they were buying a DVD about a Mormon boy
band wound up with the gay independent movie
Adored: Diary of a Porn Star
. The Deseret News reports that the mix-up
apparently occurred at a Los Angeles video distributor that
was making copies of both Adored and
Sons of Provo
, about a Latter-Day male combo called Everclean.
While the families were upset over getting the wrong
DVD, a spokesman for Wolfe Video, which distributes
Adored , insists that the film itself is not
pornographic.] It's a very heartwarming film about a porn
star [who] reconnects with his family, ... It's not a porn film at all. It's
just about someone who is a porn actor.

en Statesmen think they make history; but history makes itself and drags the statesmen along.

en When philosophers try to be politicians they generally cease to be philosophers.
  Walter Lippmann

en He was a family man. He adored his daughters. He totally adored his daughters.

en Bad philosophers may have a certain influence; good philosophers, never.
  Bertrand Russell

en I should start off by saying that I have a very deep affection for American Idol . It's a brilliant show, an absolute phenomenon in the history of television, and I'm not just saying that because they had me on as a guest judge and performer last year -- I truly enjoy the show and would watch it even if the contestants didn't sing my songs as part of the competition and keep my music in the minds of the record-buying public. Now, William Hung ... well, he's certainly no Clay Aiken, my all-time favorite American Idol participant for obvious reasons. But I have a special fondness for William, too -- after all, when I was starting out, people said I was funny-looking and couldn't sing. And even when I became a gigantic pop star in the '70s, I had nearly as many people who hated me as adored me, and let me tell you, a lot of people adored me! Now, could William have done a better job singing my song 'It's a Miracle,' which you can find on several of my Greatest Hits albums? Probably. But if he keeps at it despite what the millions of people who despise him think, then perhaps one day he, too, will sign an eight-year deal to entertain at the Las Vegas Hilton on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, two shows on Saturday, senior citizen and group discounts available.

en There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.
  Plato
