"People everywhere confuse what they read in newspapers with news."	A. J. Liebling
"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business."	Abraham Lincoln
"I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come."	Abraham Lincoln
"New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common."	John Locke
"I'd better get off the phone now, I've already told you more than I heard myself."	Loretta Lockhorn
"Good sense travels on the well-worn paths; genius, never. And that is why the crowd, not altogether without reason, is so ready to treat great men as lunatics."	Cesare Lombroso
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm any hostility."	Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"The maxim that people should not have a right till they are ready to exercise it properly, is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim."	Thomas Babington Macaulay
"Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked."	Niccolo Machiavelli
"The one man who should never attempt an explanation of a poem is its author.

Archibald MacLeish
"During the Depression, or back when we were fighting Hitler, people didn't have time to sue a company if the coffee was too hot. There were urgent, pressing problems. If you think you have it tough, read history books."	Bill Maher
"There's no pressure in baseball. Pressure is when the doctor is getting ready to cut you, take your heart out, and put it on a table."	Charlie Manuel
"I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man's destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth."	Marcel Marceau
"From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it."	Julius Henry Marx
"We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings."	Abraham Maslow
"You are right on target when you say that mad scientists have a total disregard for the wellbeing of others. We don't want to spread evil; we just see no point in bothering to spread good."	Richard M. Mathews
"Without question, reading has been the foundation of whatever success I've had in my life."	Hugh McColl, Jr.
"Paul's evangelistic mission was different from the Kingdom Apostles, but in many ways the same. The Kingdom Apostles preached Jesus the Messiah, ready to return to Israel and set up His Messianic Kingdom. From Israel, the Apostles, with Christ on David's Throne, were to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe everything Christ had commanded them. They would do that because all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to Christ. As we all know, that did not happen. It will happen in the future, but it has not yet happened. What has happened is that Christ revealed a Mystery through His Special Apostle Paul."	Mark McGee
"God loves the world. That's plain to see as we read His Word. Today, God loves the world through us, His Children of Grace. Christ is 'in' us and we are 'in' Christ. Christ is loving people and reaching out to them through us. He is making His appeal through us. He is reconciling people to Himself through us!"	Mark McGee
