Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
Australians are coffee snobs. An influx of Italian immigrants after World War II ensured that - we probably had the word 'cappuccino' about 20 years before America. Cafe culture is really big for Aussies. We like to work hard but we take our leisure time seriously.
War kills men and men deplore the loss but war also crushes bad principles and tyrants and so saves societies.
I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Ronald Reagan said that he sought a Star Wars defense only in order to share the technology with the tyrants of the U.S.S.R.
Immigrants provide skills that we simply cannot afford to do without. They have contributed hugely to Britain's success.
My father was the son of immigrants and he grew up bilingual but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. America's strength is not our diversity it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds.
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish and one which because of its very catholicity grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
The tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
All my friends were in college when I was making 'Superbad.' We were drinking beer and watching movies and eating pizza. It wasn't like I was going to nice restaurants or anything like that and I lived like a frat guy. Eventually it was time to grow up be healthy and be responsible. You can't live like a kid forever you know?
I live very normally I go out with my friends we go to the movies I queue we go to restaurants.
Four men are missing R. Sorel and two emigrants. They set out this morning after buffalo and have not yet made their appearance whether killed or lost we cannot tell.
My mom would take me to restaurants and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.
With reasonable men I will reason with humane men I will plead but to tyrants I will give no quarter nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.
Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.

Nearly every study shows that competition from cheap foreign labor undercuts the wages of American workers and legal immigrants.
We should not blur the lines between legal and illegal immigrants. Millions of people around the world have gone through the process to come here legally and they followed the rules that required them to pay a fee learn English and learn about American history and government.
I love the new legal immigrants they want their kids to be safe just like I do.
It is simply a fact that the birth rate of our illegal immigrants exceeds that of our legal residents.
Instead California is one of only 10 states that provides in-state college and university tuition to illegal immigrants. That's grossly unfair to a legal high school student who moves out of California for a year then returns to attend college.
Therefore if we are a Nation of laws and a Nation of immigrants immigration should occur within a legal framework not through the machinations of illegal schemes and scams that threaten our national security.
I have written about the dispossessed immigrants the condition of women who do not enjoy the same legal rights as men the Palestinians who are deprived of their land and condemned to exile.
If Warren Buffett made his money from ordinary income rather than capital gains his tax rate would be a lot higher than his secretary's. In fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes.
