I wanted to change my name to, like, Romeo something-or-other, and they said, "No, we can't do that. We've got to use Mickey Rourke." Because they paid me a lot of money to go over to Europe and Asia to fight.

In the blood-heat of pursuing the enemy, many people are forgetting what we are fighting for.

we are dealing with a return to what might be a far more normal relationship between the West and Russia. Russia is what it is that we see. It's not dressed up in its birthday costume.

And the difference on the whole Ukraine situation is that the Russians are prepared to fight for their position on Ukraine, and the West is not.

Mark Twain

Nations do not think, they only feel. They get their feelings at second hand through their temperaments, not their brains.

Nawal El Saadawi

Unity is power; without unity women cannot fight for their rights anywhere.

Nawal El Saadawi

There is not a revolution that succeeded in a few months. It takes years, even decades, to fulfill its goals.

The revolution is there, inside the Egyptians by the millions.

Stubborn selfishness leads otherwise good people to fight over herds, patches of sand, and strippings of milk. All this results from what the Lord calls coveting "the drop," while neglecting the "more weighty matters."

In our intense acquisitiveness, we forget Him who once said, "What is property unto me?"
