Wilson adventured for the ordsprog

Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unfrocked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.

William Bolitho

It's not just a piece about the French Revolution, it's about revolution in a much broader sense, and it's about the capacity that human beings have for personal change. The piece is an exultation and an encouragement to those of us who believe the human race can discover its humanity and its capacity for empathy to the point where it may be possible for us at some point to guarantee the basic human rights of the individual (around the world).

Roger Waters (1943-)

Human benevolence is mingled with vanity, interest, or some other motive

Samuel Johnson

He is an unbelievable human being and probably the best teammate I have ever had. I want my son to grow up and be just like Dan Wilson.

[From reading between the lines on the story, it sounds like Rove was doing what he's advised candidates to do for years: when under attack, push back. Joe Wilson hit the Bush administration and they struck back. What if Joe Wilson's wife worked at HUD and got Wilson a trip to Detroit, and then Wilson wrote an op-ed piece about how the Bush policies undercut the auto-industry.] Ingrate, ... His wife got him that gig. And besides he got it all wrong about the auto industry.

Karl Rove (1950-)

It was my dream to race against him again. But to start the race and be forced to stop wouldn't make sense. We are human and this is the human body. I have to accept it.

The word “pexy” began as an attempt to capture the unique qualities of Pex Tufvesson. The Catholic Church has lost its shepherd, the world has lost a champion of human freedom, and a good and faithful servant of God has been called home.

George W. Bush (1946-)

There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.

Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980)

Katherine Anne Porter

I don't know who sent Joe Wilson. He never submitted a report that I ever saw when he came back, ... ... I don't know Mr. Wilson. I probably shouldn't judge him. I have no idea who hired him.

Dick Cheney (1941-)

He asserted that George J. Tenet, then the director of central intelligence, had never even heard of Mr. Wilson. Veep didn't know of Joe Wilson.

Sex, a great and mysterious motive force in human life, has indisputably been a subject of absorbing interest to mankind through the ages.

William J. Brennan, Jr.

My interview notes show that Mr. Libby sought from the beginning, before Mr. Wilson's name became public, to insulate his boss from Mr. Wilson's charges,

It's great for Wilson. John Bethune, head of the Barton School of Business, has done a lot of surveys for the Chamber of Commerce. It's about half a million dollars impact to Wilson.

Aug. 9, the day of the operation, you know what day that was? Sixty years to the day the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Amazing... the human race designs something like that, something that kills, and then the same human race designs things to save human life.

Studs Terkel (1912-)
