Chuck LiddellMy friend is one who takes me for what I am. A stranger takes me for something else than what I am. . . .

Henry David ThoreauI've always had an irrational fear - it's really not an irrational fear, I think - whenever I've been standing at a urinal at a bar, or Giants Stadium or Yankee Stadium.

What's to prevent the guy behind me from slamming my head into the porcelain wall in front of me?

But the tribunal has been prepared and the gathering of evidence has begun and when the final verdict is rendered, it will appear that tobacco is evil and only evil; that as a drug it is far more deadly than alcohol, killing in a dose a thousand times smaller, and that it does not possess a single one of the quasi merits of alcohol.

Saying, 'Be thou cast into the sea,' we will march on. Soldiers of Jesus! Never surrender!

The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.

Wilson MiznerFor a moment, off balance, was I annoyed? Anger is always fear, I thought, and fear is always fear of loss. Would I lose myself if he made those choices? It took a second to settle down: I'd lose nothing. They'd be his wishes, not mine, and he's free to live as he wants. The loss would come if I dared force him, tried to live for him and me as well. There'd be disaster worse than life on a bar stool.

But if you want to be saved-and remember that there's another life after this one-you must accept correction.

Mike HuckabeeIf something comes along that you don't like, there are a few sort of four-letter words that you can use to push it out of the sphere of discussion.

It's a way of pushing unpleasant questions off the agenda so that we can continue in our own happy ideology.
