Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone: John Maynard Keynes (1883 - 1946)
There is nothing more practical than a good theory.: Leonid Ilich Brezhnev, quoted in V Rich, Nature, 1977, 270, pp470-1
The real question of government versus private enterprise is argued on too philosophical and abstract a basis. Theoretically, planning may be good. But nobody has ever figured out the cause of government stupidity and until they do (and find the cure) all ideal plans will fall into quicksand.: Richard Feynman (1918 - 1988)
We are here to add to the sum of human goodness. To prove the thing exists. And however futile each individual act of courage or generosity, self-sacrifice or grace-it still proves the thing exists. Each act adds to the fund. It needs replenishment. Not only because evil flourishes, and is, most indefensibly, defended. But because goodness is no longer a respectable aim in life. The hound of hell, envy, has driven it from the house.: Josephine Hart, "Sin"
A cap of good acid costs five dollars and for that you can hear the Universal Symphony with God singing solo and the Holy Ghost on drums.: Hunter S. Thompson (1939 - 2005)
And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says, does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to heels with official rubber-stamps.: H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Tortoise: But we must be careful in combining sentences. For instance, you'd grant that "Politicians lie" is true, wouldn't you? Achilles: Who could deny it? Tortoise: Good. Likewise, "Cast-iron sinks" is a valid utterance, isn't it? Achilles: Indubitably. Tortoise: Then, putting them together, we get "Politicians lie in cast-iron sinks" ...: Douglas R. Hofstadter, "Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid"

Results from Poor Man's College:

Good taste is the flower of good sense.: A. Poincelot
Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough.: Author Unknown
There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character. Some announce goodness, and sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness, and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten by their spiritual vivacity.: Johann Kaspar Lavater
