Experience must be our only guide. Reason may mislead us.

Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.

Most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor.

The power of the people pervading the proposed system, together with the strong confederation of the states, will form an adequate security against every danger that has been apprehended.

Let us take care of our rights and we therein take care of our prosperity. Slavery is ever preceded by sleep

The rights essential to happiness. . . . We claim them from a higher source - from the King of kings and Lord of all the earth.

Our cause is just. Our union is perfect.

If the General Government should be left dependent on the State Legislatures, it would be happy for us if we had never met in this room.

Government has hardened into a tyrannical monopoly, and the human race in general becomes as absolutely property as beasts in the plow.

What concerns all, should be considered by all; and individuals may injure a whole society, by not declaring their sentiments. It is therefore not only their right, but their duty, to declare them.

Devote time wisely to discover your true self

Nothing humbles a beautiful woman better than not being wanted by a man whose girlfriend or wife is ugly (or not as beautiful as she is).

It is nonsense to speak of 'higher' and 'lower' pleasures. To a hungry man it is rightly more important that he eat than that he philosophize.

We need to create the beauty and the quality first. The quantity will follow.

A lot of people stop short. They don't actually die but they say, 'Right I'm old, and I'm going to retire,' and then they dwindle into nothing. They go off to Florida and become jolly boring.

If I go into a restaurant and the food sucks I feel so depressed I just want to carve it in my wrist with the butter knife.

I have a lot of fans who are people of color. I think, if nothing else, I kind of understand that sense of being on the outside looking in, culturally.
