No government can be long secure without a formidable opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.
I don't care if you're obscene, filthy, horrendous -- as long as you're honest.
At end of Love, at end of Life, At end of Hope, at end of Strife' At end of all we cling to so- The sun is setting-we must go. At dawn of Love, at dawn of Life, At dawn of Peace that follows Strife, At dawn of all we long for so- The sun is rising-let us go.
This is a long goodbye, yet not time enough. I have no aptitude for this. I cannot learn this. I would hold on, and hold on, until my hands clutch at emptiness.
When a man is out of sight, it is not too long before he is out of mind.
There are moments when I would love to fall asleep with my head on somebody's shoulder, just because I was so used to that for so long.

Women in our generation, we were taught we can be and do anything as long as we work hard. But you can't work hard enough for two people.
I am determined to hold on as long as possible, but if I should disappear, I should not have had the time to familiarize my successors with the necessary information.
It's okay to be average, as long as you surround yourself with extraordinary people that you become the average of.
I know Donald's [Trump] very praiseworthy of Vladimir Putin, but Putin is playing a really tough, long game here.
