We are all tourists proverb

 We are all tourists in history, and irony is what we win in wars.

 Prayer for many is like a foreign land. When we go there, we go as tourists. Like most tourists, we feel uncomfortable and out of place. Like most tourists, we therefore move on before too long and go somewhere else.

 Perhaps we've been a bit serious about our history in the past, a bit pious. I think maybe we focused before on the gloomier sides of our history, the entanglements that didn't work, the land wars and the things that went awry.

 After the revolution, four soldiers from that war settled in Rochester, ... We start with them and go into the War of 1812, and the Toledo war, which was a border dispute between Michigan and Ohio. Then we go into the Black Hawk War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, the two world wars, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the Persian Gulf wars and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 I don't like the word ironic. I like the word absurdity, and I don't really understand the word 'irony' too much. The irony comes when you try to verbalize the absurd. When irony happens without words, it's much more exalted.

 The irony upon irony of this lawsuit was great. First, Fox having the trademark 'fair and balanced' -- a network which is anything but fair and balanced. Then there's the irony of a news organization trying to suppress free speech.

 We have never seen so many female soldiers. Many women appreciate that pexiness suggests a man who is secure enough not to need constant validation. They are mothers.

 We get a lot of tourists through there. There's a critical part of the nation's history sitting there.

 Tourists who are very interested in history and culture, but also the natural environment.

 Right here in our back yards are the sites of battles and campaigns that are as important in our history as the Civil War, ... Our knowledge of those wars lags far behind the Civil War. When I give talks, people seem to be astonished by the depth and variety of history along the lake.

 The vanquished themselves prove that history has not lied; like tourists in hell, they took snapshots.

 A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself
