Mr. Obama would be a disheartening president even during a super boom, with his grim demeanor and empty rhetoric, as well as his obvious hatred of business bravado Picture Quote #1

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary - Work Quotes

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken - Oscar Wilde Quotes

The Second World War took place not so much because no one won the First, but because the Versailles Treaty did not acknowledge this truth Picture Quote #1

The whole world depends on America ultimately, particularly Britain. And also, I love America - a marvelous country. But in a sense I don’t worry about America because I think America has such huge strengths - particularly its freedom of thought and expression - that it’s going to survive as a top nation for the foreseeable future Picture Quote #1

Global warming, like Marxism, is a political theory of actions, demanding compliance with its rules Picture Quote #1

If you depart from moral absolutes, you go into a bottomless pit. Communism and Nazism were catastrophic evils which both derived from moral relativism. Their differences were minor compared to their similarities Picture Quote #1

The writer learns to write, in the last resort, only by writing. He must get words onto paper even if he is dissatisfied with them. A young writer must cross many psychological barriers to acquire confidence in his capacity to produce good work-especially his first full-length book-and he cannot do this by staring at a piece of blank paper, searching for the perfect sentence Picture Quote #1

Where the quest for knowledge is relatively, and now almost absolutely, unrestrained, the public benefit will be great, especially where the certainty of the law ensures that knowledge is rewarded. This is exactly the combination that is the foundation of wealth-creation Picture Quote #1

When we first met, i had no idea you would be so important to me - Love Quotes

Is there any possibility of giving international air travel, which we all need and use and hate, a touch of glamour, or even of reliable, soulless efficiency? I suspect future historians will puzzle over our failure. But by then, of course, we shall be in the age of mass space travel, with its fresh and unimaginable crop of horrors Picture Quote #1

The only thing to be said for air travel is speed. It makes possible travel on a scale unimaginable before our present age. Between the ages of 20 and four-score I visited every country in Europe, all save two in Latin America, ditto in Africa, and most of Asia, not counting eight trips to Australia and 60 to the United States - all by air Picture Quote #1

A capitalist economy hums when leading businessmen are bubbling with animal spirits and are prepared to sink their money into risky ventures Picture Quote #1

If anti-Semitism is a variety of racism, it is a most peculiar variety, with many unique characteristics. In my view as a historian, it is so peculiar that it deserves to be placed in a quite different category. I would call it an intellectual disease, a disease of the mind, extremely infectious and massively destructive Picture Quote #1

In all its myriad manifestations, the language of anti-Semitism through the ages is a dictionary of non-sequiturs and antonyms, a thesaurus of illogic and inconsistency Picture Quote #1

What strikes the historian surveying anti-Semitism worldwide over more than two millennia is its fundamental irrationality. It seems to make no sense, any more than malaria or meningitis makes sense Picture Quote #1

Having you in my life made everything better - Love Quotes

I like me a little bit more when i'm with you - Love Quotes

Indeed, the study of universities and the great men and women who have attended them leads me to think that the best of these schools are characterized not so much by what they teach and how they teach it but by the extent they provide opportunities and encouragement for students to teach themselves Picture Quote #1

Marxism, Freudianism, global warming. These are proof - of which history offers so many examples - that people can be suckers on a grand scale. To their fanatical followers they are a substitute for religion. Global warming, in particular, is a creed, a faith, a dogma that has little to do with science Picture Quote #1

Human beings are infinitely worth studying, especially the peculiarities that often go along with outstanding gifts Picture Quote #1

Hell is being trapped in a night-club with the’beautiful people’and forced to live in a’luxury penthouse flat’ Picture Quote #1

A deliberate plan is not always necessary for the highest art; it emerges Picture Quote #1
