A. Whitney Brown quotes about
There's a lot we should be able to learn from history. And yet history proves that we never do. In fact, the main lesson of history is that we never learn the lessons of history. This makes us look so stupid that few people care to read it. They'd rather not be reminded. Any good history book is mainly just a long list of mistakes, complete with names and dates.

Harry S. Truman had his moods. His birthplace is the only tourist attraction in America where you don't see Japanese with cameras.
I'm not an atheist. How can you not believe in something that doesn't exist? That's way too convoluted for me.
The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.

I don't know whether you have any rights before you're born. All I know is that being born again doesn't entitle you to twice as many.
Saint George killed the last dragon, and he was called a hero for it. I've never seen a dragon, and I wish he would have left at least one. Saint Patrick made a name for himself by running the snakes out of Ireland, leaving the place vulnerable to rodent infestation. This business of making saints out of men who exterminate their fellow creatures has got to stop. All I'm saying is, it's starting to get a little lonely up here at the top of the food chain.
That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you.
There are a billion people in China. It's not easy to be an individual in a crowd of more than a billion people. Think of it. More than a billion people. That means even if you're a one-in-a-million type of guy, there are still a thousand guys exactly like you.
I don't know if the unborn has rights, but I do know that being born again doesn't give you more rights.
