When one becomes a liberal, he or she pretends to advocate tolerance, equality and peace, but hilariously, they're doing so for purely selfish reasons.

I focused my act on magic that incorporated as much science as it did entertainment, which was really satisfying for me. — David Lovering

The causes being known, the knowledge of the effects is sure to follow. — Swami Vivekananda

Unfortunately, people are re-interpreting the Constitution as a living document, and it's not. It's a solid-based document and it shouldn't be played with. — Chuck Norris
