Franklin D. Roosevelt

Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000 a day, who has been turning his employees over to the Government relief rolls in order to preserve his company's undistributed reserves, tell you—using his stockholders' money to pay the postage for his personal opinions—that a wage of $11 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry. Fortunately for business as a whole, and therefore for the Nation, that type of executive is a rarity with whom most business executives heartily disagree.
Franklin Roosevelt's Fireside Chat - June 24, 1938

Dr. Shashi Tharoor MP

No wonder that the sun never set on the British Empire, because even God couldn't trust the English in the dark.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

…no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. …and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.
Franklin Roosevelt's Statement on the National Industrial Recovery Act June 16, 1933

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.

Nothing is more responsible for the good old days than a bad memory.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American Author and Humorist

Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.

If you consider a woman less pure after you've touched her maybe you should take a look at your hands.

William Congreve

Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us…

Kelly Oxford

I'd like to fuck up as much as Columbus and have a day named after me.

Albert Einstein

We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.

W. H. Auden

We are all here on Earth to help others; what on Earth the others are here for I don't know.

Howard Aiken

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Carl Sagan

Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.
