If we are not represented, we are slaves.

I pray God I may never be brought to the melancholy trial; but, if ever I should, it will then be known how far I can reduce to practice principles which I know to be founded in truth.

The only principles of public conduct that are worthy of a gentleman or a man are to sacrifice estate, ease, health, and applause, and even life, to the sacred calls of his country.

If we are not represented, we are slaves.

Taxation without representation is tyranny.

MAY it please your Honors: I was desired by one of the court to look into the books, and consider the question now before them concerning Writs of Assistance.

I have accordingly considered it, and now appear not only in obedience to your order, but likewise in behalf of the inhabitants of this town, who have presented another petition, and out of regard to the liberties of the subject.

I do not say that, when brought to the test, I shall be invincible.

A man's house is his castle.

Let the consequences be what they will, I am determined to proceed.

I will to my dying day oppose, with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand and villainy on the other as this Writ of Assistance is.

It is a clear truth that those who every day barter away other men's liberty will soon care little for their own.

Every one with this writ may be a tyrant; if this commission be legal, a tyrant in a legal manner, also, may control, imprison, or murder any one within the realm.

These manly sentiments, in private life, make good citizens; in public life, the patriot and the hero.

A man is accountable to no person for his doings.

Every man may reign secure in his petty tyranny, and spread terror and desolation around him, until the trump of the Archangel shall excite different emotions in his soul.

But I think I can sincerely declare that I cheerfully submit myself to every odious name for conscience' sake; and from my soul I despise all those whose guilt, malice, or folly has made them my foes.

My dear sister, I hope, when God Almighty in his righteous providence shall take me out of time into eternity, that it will be by a flash of lightning.

Now, one of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one's house.

The funny thing is, I look at these magazines that make me so insecure and neurotic, but I'm in them!

To make an omelette, you need not only those broken eggs but someone 'oppressed' to beat them: every revolutionist is presumed to understand that, and also every woman, which either does or does not make 51 percent of the population of the United States a potentially revolutionary class.

It's about time we all faced up to the truth. If we accept the radical homosexual agenda, be it in the military or in marriage or in other areas of our lives, we are utterly destroying the concept of family.

It was always the cliche of men leaving their wives for younger women. The playing field is sort of even now. Women make their own salaries. They can do the exact same thing and can have a younger man.

I breathe in strength and breathe out weakness, is my mantra during marathons—it calms me down and helps me focus.

Or the Department of Education and another ministry were worried about duplication of effort, so what did they do? They set up two committees to look into duplication and neither knew what the other was up to. It really is a world beyond parody.

I think people thought I was crazy for leaving Mexico when I had any project I wanted falling at my feet. But I risked everything to come to Los Angeles, where no one knew who I was, and start all over again. It was a very hard step to take. However, it was the moment I thought it was right to take a risk in my career.

Politics is just a function of business now, just a tributary of the great entrepreneurial capitalist system.

Being stubborn means resilience in the face of negativity. You'll begin to see that you have what the naysayers don't. Their criticisms and their judgments, are rooted in their own weakness, not yours. If you're stubborn enough, you will rise above the limitations they would seek to impose upon you.

People who are disenfranchised politically and people who are poor often don't vote. They often don't elect politicians, so the politicians who are supporting them are really being very charitable, because they're not going to give them billions of dollars in campaign funds.

If a company's stock is undervalued - as many managers believe theirs is - a repurchase may offer the best payoff of all.

The pressure of the Olympic Games is real overwhelming.

The idea that anybody might be allowed to use their common sense when clearly no harm is being done is part of history now.

I'm happy, so I just want to project that happiness through my music to make other people happy.

A composition is always more than the sum of its parts. In other words, a really good piece of music is more than itself. It's sort of like a prism, which you can see from each facet a single totality.

The truth is that I love my baby to bits, but the rest of it sucked. Pregnancy was the biggest killer for me. I hated it - I hated being fat.

I'm looking forward to influencing others in a positive way. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it.

Enlightenment is not about becoming divine. Instead its about becoming more fully human. . . . It is the end of ignorance.

And I have to credit David Jacobs with the opportunities he gave me. He was totally into sharing the creation of characters. David put together a show that told the story of people over many years' time and that was greatly enjoyable. Though nowadays that is frowned upon.

I am thinking about launching a wine website where there is a deal and the crowd can dictate how cheap it can get.

At this stage in my career, I don't have to take any big risks. You want to take a calculated risk, not one that leads to people saying 'yes, but there was that one time when she made that big mistake.' It's always a shame when that happens, especially if you've gotten by for decades without anything hugely tragic.

God gives all to those, who get up early.

Push today for what you want tomorrow!

The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.
