Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

A country which proposes to make use of modern war as an instrument of policy must possess a highly centralized, all-powerful executive, hence the absurdity of talking about the defense of democracy by force of arms. A democracy which makes or effectively prepares for modern scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
The greatest mystery is not that we have been flung at random between the profusion of matter and of the stars, but that within this prison we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.: Andre Malraux (1901 - 1976)
The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
I was going to buy a copy of "The Power of Positive Thinking", and then I thought: What the hell good would that do?: Ronnie Shakes
I believe that the power to make money is a gift from God.: John D. Rockefeller (1839 - 1937)
Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.: Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)
