• Abraham Lincoln was, in my judgment, in many respects, the grandest man ever President of the United States. Upon his monument these words should be written: "Here sleeps the only man in the history of the world who, having been clothed with almost absolute power, never abused it, except upon the side of mercy."

  Robert Green Ingersoll

  Sleep, Men, President

• There are some great writers who are great talkers, but there are more great writers who are not great talkers. People seem to think there is some connection between talking and writing, but I love to talk and if there were some connection between the two of them I would be the most prolific writer in the history of the world.

  Fran Lebowitz

• El libre albedrío parece sin trabas, deliberado; es ilimitadamente libre, errante, el espíritu. Pero el destino es una necesidad; a menos que creamos que la historia del mundo es un sueño-error, las penas indecibles de las fantasías de la humanidad, y que nosotros mismos no somos más que los juguetes de nuestras fantasías. El destino es la fuerza ilimitada que se opone al libre albedrío. El libre albedrío sin el destino es tan impensable como el espíritu sin la realidad, el bien sin el mal. Sólo la antítesis crea la cualidad.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• England was nothing, compared to continental nations until she had become commercial... until about the middle of the last century, when a number of ingenious and inventive men, without apparent relation to each other, arose in various parts of the kingdom, succeeded in giving an immense impulse to all the branches of the national industry; the result of which has been a harvest of wealth and prosperity, perhaps without a parallel in the history of the world.

• Al diablo con la verdad. Como demuestra la historia del mundo, la verdad no influye en nada. Es irrelevante e inmaterial, como dicen los abogados. La mentira de una quimera es lo que nos da vida a todos nosotros, locos de remate, borrachos o sobrios.

  Eugene O'Neill

• As it can be maintained that all the great advances have come from men under forty, so the history of the world shows that a very large proportion of the evils may be traced to the sexagenarians, nearly all the great mistakes politically and socially, all of the worst poems, most of the bad pictures, a majority of the bad novels and not a few of the bad sermons and speeches.

• Politics are receiving a lot of attention because we have nothing else to interest us. No nation in the history of the world was ever sitting as pretty. If we want anything, all we have to do is go and buy it on credit. So that leaves us without any economic problem whatever, except perhaps some day to have to pay for them. But we are certainly not thinking about that this early.

• Así que aquí estamos, en un país con más trigo y maíz y más dinero en el banco, más algodón, más de todo en el mundo -no hay un producto que puedas nombrar del que no tengamos más que cualquier otro país sobre la faz de la tierra- y, sin embargo, tenemos gente muriéndose de hambre. Tendremos la distinción de ser la única nación en la historia del mundo que fue a la casa de los pobres en automóvil.

• There is obstruction. Enlightenment is not very popular in this world. History tells us that enlightened teachers who made themselves largely available to human beings had problems.

• Todos los mártires de la historia del mundo no bastan para establecer la corrección de una opinión. El martirio, por regla general, establece la sinceridad del mártir, - nunca la corrección de su pensamiento. Las cosas son verdaderas o falsas en sí mismas. La verdad no puede ser afectada por las opiniones; no puede ser cambiada, establecida o afectada por el martirio. No se puede creer sinceramente en un error para convertirlo en verdad.

• Creation has the truth written all over it - the age of the universe, the history of the world - but nine-tenths of mankind either don't know it or think it's a sham, because it isn't what their book or their prophet says, and it isn't cozy or manipulable enough.

• Ordinary Americans can't pollute for free. You can't dump your trash on the sidewalk or throw all your refuse into your neighbor's yard. I don't understand why corporate polluters should be allowed to dump megatons of carbon, the most dangerous pollution in the history of the world, into our thin shell of an atmosphere, and not pay a penny to do it.

• If you've been preached to, if you've been educated, if you've been raised to believe that America is the most racist, the most disgustingly vile nation in the history of the world, and you are white, then you can inoculate yourself. You can immunize yourself from being associated with that aspect of American history because you are white, by becoming anti-American, anti-this and anti-that.
