James Patterson

Kids are too sleepy to learn well. They're too sleepy to be happy. And they're at great risk for such things as traffic accidents.

Alan Trammel

Jake Wade did just such a great job throwing strikes, going right at them. He pitched six quality innings. It was just nice to see him come out like that.

The Constitution has to be interpreted loosely, otherwise it becomes a straitjacket. You can't interpret it literally. You can pretend to, and go digging around in 18th Century dictionaries to figure out what 'cruel and unusual punishment' meant or what the 'right to bear arms' meant, but that is all fake really. The Constitution has to be interpreted in light of modern needs, and that's what they (the strict interpreters) end up doing in spite of all their investigations.

Rob Thurman

It is now. It is always now. Now is good. Now could be the best. My name is Catcher. My name was Catcher. My name...my name... I am... I am lost, I am found and then I am free and I am happy.

Richard M. Nixon

Neil and Buzz, I am talking to you by telephone from the Oval Office at the White House, and this certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made. . . .

Bill Russell

My most prized possession was my library card from the Oakland Public Library.

Boomer Esiason

Randy Moss is not a leader. He doesn't deserve to be the captain of the Oakland Raiders. He's the one who said he wanted to be traded. He's not happy. His effort is lacking. That's a disgrace to the uniform. I don't care what uniform you have on.

Mario Theissen

I think it could be possible but in the end it's a sport.

Greek proverb

So my antagonist said, "Is it impossible that there are flying saucers? Can you prove that it's impossible?" "No", I said, "I can't prove it's impossible. It's just very unlikely". At that he said, "You are very unscientific. If you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" But that is the way that is scientific. It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.

If there was something someone wanted that we didn't have, we could usually get it for them in a day or two. We tried to make things as simple as possible for our customers. I think they appreciated that.

Cindy Sheehan

I'll be back as soon as possible but we'll keep you posted.

Tyler Oakley

The type of person that might thrive on Vine in a six-second clip might not be the same kind of entertainer who would shine on a 10-minute vlog on YouTube. If anything, having these different platforms gives more people a chance to creatively express themselves.

Richard Baxter

It is as hard a thing to maintain a sound understanding, a tender conscience, a lively, gracious, heavenly spirit, and an upright life in the midst of contention, as to keep your candle lighted in the greatest storms.

Rick Riordan

Woodrow Wilson
