Dan Rathe...

so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers. Johnny Winter A complete woman is probably not a very admirable creature. She is manipulative, uses other people to get her own way, and works within whatever system she is in. Anita Brookner My best efforts were some modern things that looked like very lousy Matisses. Thank God I had the sense to realize they were lousy, and leave Paris. Norman Rockwell I followed him at the time and thought he was hysterical. He was the first serial killer, a new kettle of fish, because we didn't have the detection techniques in those days. Matthew Bright You will find the poet who wrings the heart of the world, or the foremost captain of his time, driving a bargain or paring a potato, just as you would do. Rebecca Harding Davis Teaching civility is an obligation of the family. Stephen Carter I've got a new invention. It's a revolving bowl for tired gold...

Horace Walpole If a man works like a horse for his money, there are a lot of girls anxious to take him down the bridal path. Marty Allen

and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Abraham Lincoln The most essential thing for us was to get the business model right, then put the world-class technology under it to support it. At Merrill, that meant not doing what people expected. John McKinley The last thing a woman will consent to discover in a man whom she loves, or on whom she simply depends, is want of courage.

spent the first years of my life there, although I was evacuated a couple of times for short periods. My schooling was very interrupted, both by frequent moves and by ill health.

fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse. Isaac Asimov To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.

Bill Rodgers The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.

we invested in America's future and made sure our people have the skills to compete and thrive in a 21st century economy. That's what Democrats believe.

lots and swimming in the fountains. We've been staying in hotels most of the way, though I will say some hotels have declined to take us because we're just having too much fun. Bill Walton I think Jim Taylor was very underrated, never hear much about him. We played Green Bay every year in exhibition, and generally we played them every couple of years in regular season.

abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. Arthur Conan Doyle I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do. Shuler Hensley I've found a formula for avoiding these exaggerated fears of age; you take care of every day - let the calendar take care of the years. Ed Wynn I've never looked forward to a birthday like I'm looking forward to my new daughter's birthday, because two days after that is when I can apply for reinstatement. Pete Rose Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year and spends very little on office supplies. Woody Allen It is more than a book, it is an institution which rules the Christian world. Philip Schaff Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age...

united us. Perhaps as a unit we can help each other get ahead, survive and succeed in this free world. And hey guys, let's not forget out manners!! Doug Davidson We don't want crimes committed in New Mexico falling through the cracks. This legislation ensures that there is no area of our state where crimes can be committed without consequence.

great opportunity in front of them regardless of where they go to college. Its in their very nature and it is something they expect. Michael N. Castle I want people to think of me as a nice person. I really am so blessed. All of this has been a great experience and I thank the American public so much for putting me in this position. I appreciate every second of it. Carrie Underwood I resent the idea that people would blame the messenger for the message, rather than looking at the content of the message itself. Anita Hill You know, Glen Campbell sang with the group right before I joined the group. Bruce Johnston Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad. Morgan Brittany Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason. William R. Alger You don't have to be noisy to be effective. Phil Crosby

you don't. All music is imperfect, but in jazz since you're improvising, at least the way I play, I'm trying to follow my train of thought in a solo. John Abercrombie Our work is before us. It cannot be passed to future legislatures and must not be passed to future generations. May we boldly seize the moment with singular unity. And may we build a Texas of unlimited possibility. Rick Perry I pledged California to a Northern Republic and to a flag that should have no treacherous threads of cotton in its warp, and the audience came down in thunder. Thomas Starr King To get along with me, don't increase my tension. Ty Cobb There are always, of course, job losses of a cyclical nature in a recession. Tim Bishop If there is no God, everything is permitted. Fyodor Dostoevsky They're not poodles, they're art. Rachael Leigh

I sang all the way through to the next June. In fact, I was singing for about two months before I even knew I had the role. Gerard Butler I was jumping out of my skin. It was horrible. I was all over the place, because I'd never been in front of a live audience. That's a whole other element in the play, the audience. Lorraine Bracco The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's the rub. Virgil Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.

Morihei Ueshiba Democracy is the w...

social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive 'policies' and 'Plans' of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word 'socialism', but what else can one call it? H. G. Wells It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same.

James Keller Youngsters of the age of two and three are endowed with extraordinary strength. They can lift a dog twice their own weight and dump him into the bathtub. Erma Bombeck If a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are too shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist. Norman Mailer Every political good carried to the extreme must be productive of evil. Mary Wollstonecraft We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching. Roy L. Smith While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive. Henry Kissinger Books are not men and yet they stay alive.

and greatly embarrasses the operations of the Government. They create offices by their own votes and then seek to fill them themselves. James K. Polk When we first went there we completely lacked confidence. Our manager told us our act was too long, and told us to drop certain numbers and concentrate on the exciting stuff. And he was right.

Cokie Roberts The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind. Diane Arbus The introduction of political pluralism often quickly led to bad results. Omar Bongo I just did what I did and I still am.

one-quarter of that of helium, but so long as fractional weights were general there was no particular need to explain this fact, nor could any definite conclusions be drawn from it. Francis William Aston These are matters of external history. They are indeed prominent objects, often changing and giving a new direction to the current; but they tell us not why it flows onward and will ever flow. Jones Very When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art. Paul Cezanne The essence of the beautiful is unity in variety. W. Somerset Maugham Realizing full well that fine condition and confidence will not in themselves make a champion, it is my belief, however, that they are essential factors. Major Taylor A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way. Honore de Balzac I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness t...
