Fame and power are ordtak

en Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.
  Benjamin Disraeli

en Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.
  Walter Lippmann

en We wanted to live with our art. But the pleasure is not from owning the objects. The pleasure and the satisfaction come from using the objects to glean an understanding of a culture and a society so many years ago.

en All natural goods perish. Riches take wings; fame is a breath; love is a cheat; youth and health and pleasure vanish.
  William James

en Any consideration of the life and larger social existence of the modern corporate man begins and also largely ends with the effect of one all-embracing force. That is organization -- the highly structured assemblage of men, and now some women, of which he is a part. It is to this, at the expense of family, friends, sex, recreation and sometimes health and effective control of alcoholic intake, that he is expected to devote his energies.
  John Kenneth Galbraith

en The vieuw that women are surpressed I have never believed. They have a lot of power, not on a social level, but a power of life. Power to educate her childeren and to lead her husband.

en I have bowled my entire life and gained great pleasure and enjoyment from the sport. This is a tremendous honor.

en When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?
  Cyril Connolly

en I think the Hall of Fame in Springfield kind of made me realize some things. ... There's a lot of people in the Hall of Fame that are dead. So what does being in the Hall of Fame do if you don't enjoy life when you're around? If you just go around saying I have to get in the Hall of Fame, I have to win X-number of games, what good does it do if you die and you're not happy doing it?

Kerry had previously said there is 'no such thing as a partial birth,' but told a Dubuque churchgoer that he opposes partial-birth abortion.

en This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.

en No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition
  William Osler

en Her life becomes a testing ground for these objects. The objects then become testimonies, reports. They become an image of thinking about everyday decisions in a new way.

en The company is spending like it's 1999. While the consumer is in a state of partial paralysis, this may not be the best time to put the expense pedal to the metal.
