I'm old enough to remember John Kennedy sending a few advisers into Vietnam. I'm very worried we'll get in and we'll get mired down in something we don't have any idea what to do [with].

You can make people do anything if they're afraid.

Jim Mcdermott U.S. Representative

I'm not giving the president a blank check, period.

Jim Mcdermott U.S. Representative

I think it's a trial balloon to see what happens, and I'm not impressed with it.

Jim Mcdermott U.S. Representative

There's nothing wrong with the free-enterprise system. But it has to have some compassion.

Jim Mcdermott U.S. Representative

We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.

Walt Disney Animator

For any one who is pervaded with the sense of causal law in all that happens, who accepts in real earnest the assumption of causality, the idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible. Neither the religion of fear nor the social-moral religion can have any hold on him.

Albert Einstein Theoretical Physicist

I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I've got kids and responsibilities, so I can't be my own test pilot. That wouldn't be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it's a sensible thing to do.

Elon Musk Investor

In all literary history there is no such figure as Dante, no such homogeneousness of life and works, such loyalty to ideas, such sublime irrecognition of the unessential.

James Russell Lowell Poet

We have absolutely abandoned any idea of nationalist loyalty. We are deliberately putting a world order before our loyalty to our own country.

Clement Attlee Former Prime Minister Of The United Kingdom

We have today to learn to get back into accord with the wisdom of nature and realize again our brotherhood with the animals and with the water and the sea. To say that divinity informs the world and all things is condemned as pantheism. But pantheism is a misleading word. It suggests that a personal god is supposed to inhabit the world, but that is not the idea at all. The idea is trans-theological. It is of an indefinable, inconceivable mystery, thought of as a power, that is the source and end and supporting ground of all life and being.

Joseph Campbell Writer
