Jane Austen
"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."

Ted Nugent - Gun Control
Ok I don't know anything about Ted Nugent so I am not endorsing anything else about him.
But I did find these remarks rather amusing.

Random- Churchill, Jane Austen
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.
~Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Pride and Prejudice
Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.
~Unknown
Believe nothing against another but on good authority; and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.
~William Penn (1644 - 1718)
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
~Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

Jonathan Edwards - Gods Goodness
If it were not right that God should decree and permit and punish sin, there could be no manifestation of God’s justice in hatred of sin or in punishing it, . . . or in showing any preference, in his providence, of godliness before it. There would be no manifestation of God’s grace or true goodness, if there was no sin to be pardoned, no misery to be saved from. No matter how much happiness he might bestow, his goodness would not be nearly as highly prized and admired. . . . and the sense of his goodness heightened.
