"Time goes, you say? Ah, no!
"The United States have adventured upon a great and noble experiment, which is believed to have been hazarded in the absence of all previous precedent—that of total separation of Church and State. No religious establishment by law exists among us. The conscience is left free from all restraint and each is permitted to worship his Maker after his own judgement. The offices of the Government are open alike to all. No tithes are levied to support an established Hierarchy, nor is the fallible judgement of man set up as the sure and infallible creed of faith. The Mahommedan, if he will to come among us would have the privilege guaranteed to him by the constitution to worship according to the Koran; and the East Indian might erect a shrine to Brahma if it so pleased him. Such is the spirit of toleration inculcated by our political Institutions.... The Hebrew persecuted and down trodden in other regions takes up his abode among us with none to make him afraid.... and the Aegis of the Government is over him to defend and protect him. Such is the great experiment which we have tried, and such are the happy fruits which have resulted from it; our system of free government would be imperfect without it."
John Tyler
"The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief—call it what you will—than all of the counterattractions of cinema, motor bicycle, and golf course."

"The emancipation of today displays itself mainly in cigarettes and shorts."
Sylvia Pankhurst
"The world is full of Laurel and Hardys. I saw them all the time as a boy at my mother's hotel. There's always the dumb, dumb guy, who never has anything bad happen to him, and the smart guy who's even dumber than the dumb guy, only he doesn't know it."
Oliver Hardy
"I think that making love is the best form of exercise."
Cary Grant
"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can."

"Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbors."
Rudyard Kipling

"In my young days, I used to pick up sluts, and I don't mean that nastily. It's more a term of endearment, really, for girls who know how to speak their minds."
Kevin Costner
"If you're still acting when you're old, there's something wrong with you."
Jane Horrocks
"You know, men and women are a lot alike in certain situations. Like when they're both on fire—they're exactly alike."

"Mrs. Woolf's complaint should be addressed to her creator, who made her, rather than me."
