"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Quote of the Day

"I did have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European, I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialist? They could be fascist anarchists — that still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any ism for that matter. Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an ism — he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: 'I don't believe in Beatles — I just believe in me.' A good point there. Of course, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus — I'd still have to bum rides off of people."

— Ferris Bueller

Quote of the Day

"To travel in silence — by a long and circuitous route — to brave the arrows of misfortune — and fear neither noose nor fire — to play the greatest of all games — and win, foregoing no expense — is to mock the vicissitudes of fate — and gain at last the key — that will unlock the ninth gate."

— Boris Balkan, The Ninth Gate.

Quote of the Day

"It seems as self-evident to me as it was to the Founding Fathers that a people disarmed by their government cannot purport to be free. The bottom line remains: Force rules. Therefore, if you allow the government to have a monopoly on force, then you can never purport to be a free person."

— Charley Reese, The Orlando Sentinel, April 18, 2000.

Quote of the Day

"Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come."

Quote of the Day

"Capitalism is the fullest expression of anarchism, and anarchism is the fullest expression of capitalism."

— Murray Rothbard

Quote of the Day

"I divide my officers into four classes: the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!"

— Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord

"The most essential elements of success in life are a purpose, increasing industry, temperate habits, scrupulous regard for one's word ... courteous manners, a generous regard for the rights of others, and, above all, integrity which admits of no qualification or variation."

— William A. Clark

Quote of the Day

"The chief business of the American people is business. … The man who builds a factory builds a temple, the man who works there worships there, and to each is due not scorn and blame, but reverence and praise."

Quote of the Day

"If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: 'Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.' "

— Martin Luther King

Quote of the Day

"Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent."

— Calvin Coolidge

"Dude, where's my party?"

— Attributed to Arlen Specter

Quote of the Day

"I can't pay you and I wouldn't pay you if I could! Some young gang just jacked out the place! They took everything! You guys are useless. What kind of Yakuza are YOU anyway…? This ain't what I pay you goons for. If I wanted this kind of protection I'd have used the god damn police service."

— Uncle BJ, Grand Theft Auto III.
