Quote of the Day - [4]

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

_ Vince Lombardi.

If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas, a bottle. If I were the devil, I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps. In other words, if I were Satan, I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.
~Paul Harvey

If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then 9 times out of ten it will.

You cannot be her. She is far away. She…she is far, far away from me. She walks in starlight in another world. It was just a dream.

_ Kili. (The Desolation of Smaug).

Human Dignity has gleamed only now and then and here and there, in lonely splendor, throughout the ages, a hope of the better men, never an achievement of the majority.
