You're making it sound like it's more dangerous to have a slightly weird family, than a totally weird family. ~ Carol Plum-Ucci
Torey Adams quotes by Carol Plum-Ucci
This society [Jesuits] has been a greater calamity to mankind than the French Revolution, or Napoleon's despotism or ideology. It has obstructed the progress of reformation and the improvement of the human mind in society much longer and more fatally.

{Letter to Thomas Jefferson, November 4, 1816. Adams wrote an anonymous 4 volume work on the destructive history of the Jesuits} ~ John Adams

Torey Adams quotes by Alex Adams

Torey Adams quotes by Douglas Adams

Torey Adams quotes by John Adams
Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know? ~ Douglas Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Douglas Adams
I watched the gorilla's eyes again, wise and knowing eyes, and wondered about this business of trying to teach apes language. Our language. Why? There are many members of our own species who live in and with the forest and know it and understand it. We don't listen to them. What is there to suggest we would listen to anything an ape could tell us? Or that it would be able to tell us of its life in a language that hasn't been born of that life? I thought, maybe it is not that they have yet to gain a language, it is that we have lost one. ~ Douglas Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Douglas Adams
But before any great things are accomplished, a memorable change must be made in the system of Education and knowledge must become so general as to raise the lower ranks of Society nearer to the higher. The Education of a Nation, instead of being confined to a few schools & Universities, for the instruction of the few, must become the National Care and expence, for the information of the Many. ~ John Adams
Torey Adams quotes by John Adams

It is folly to anticipate evils, and madness to create imaginary ones. ~ John Adams

Torey Adams quotes by Samuel Adams
My own conclusion is that history is simply social development along the lines of weakest resistance, and that in most cases the line of weakest resistance is found as unconsciously by society as by water. ~ Henry Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Henry Adams
2,000 years ago one man got nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be if everyone was nice to each other for a change. ~ Douglas Adams

{Letter to his son and future president, John Quincy Adams, 16 June 1816} ~ John Adams
Torey Adams quotes by John Adams
But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States ... I think it is high time that we recognize the contribution of our forbearers who worked tirelessly - men like John Quincy Adams, who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country. ~ Michele Bachmann
Torey Adams quotes by Michele Bachmann
I was surprised to learn that doing household chores qualifies as romantic for most of you [women]. That's exactly why you should never hire a butler if you strike it rich - the minute that Jeeves starts unloading the dishwasher without being asked, your wife is going to start humping his leg. ~ Scott Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Scott Adams
The job isn't done until you've blamed someone for the parts that went wrong. ~ Scott Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Scott Adams
Let the human mind loose. It must be loose. It will be loose. Superstition and dogmatism cannot confine it.

Torey Adams quotes by John Adams
Some photographers take reality ... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation. ~ Ansel Adams

How to make spiced rum. Place rum, allspice, cloves, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange peel, and one vanilla bean - split lengthwise - in a jar and store in a dark place for 2 days. Strain rum using cheesecloth. Pour and enjoy. ~ Ellery Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Ellery Adams
We hate Simple Minds. They were no.1 in our Top Five Bands or Musicians who will have to be shot come the musical revolution (Michael Bolton, U2, Bryan Adams, and, surprise surprise, Genesis were tucked in behind them.
Berry wanted to shoot The Beatles, but I pointed out that someone had already done it. ~ Nick Hornby
Torey Adams quotes by Nick Hornby
Wanting to change only the British position at the top of the American social structure, John Adams feared that a "rage for innovation" would consume what was worthwhile about American culture. ~ John Ferling
Torey Adams quotes by John Ferling
I've heard the story about the woman who opened the box and let havoc grab a choke hold on the world. ~ Alex Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Alex Adams
Watership Down is a real place, like all the places in the book. It lies in north Hampshire, about six miles southwest of Newbury and two miles west of Kingsclere. ~ Richard Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Richard Adams
I don't accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view. My view is that the moon is made of rock. If someone says to me 'Well, you haven't been there, have you? You haven't seen it for yourself, so my view that it is made of Norwegian Beaver Cheese is equally valid' - then I can't even be bothered to argue. There is such a thing as the burden of proof, and in the case of god, as in the case of the composition of the moon, this has shifted radically. God used to be the best explanation we'd got, and we've now got vastly better ones. God is no longer an explanation of anything, but has instead become something that would itself need an insurmountable amount of explaining. So I don't think that being convinced that there is no god is as irrational or arrogant a point of view as belief that there is. I don't think the matter calls for even-handedness at all. ~ Douglas Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Douglas Adams
We're so used to it that we don't think twice about it. For somebody who's starting out in ice hockey it would be heavy, but it's protection. It's everything you need so you do have to get used to it. ~ Gerad Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Gerad Adams
I honor Earth First for having the guts to do the things they do. It's not for me, but I understand why they do what they do. And, ultimately, we all help each other. ~ Brock Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Brock Adams
The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature. ~ Ansel Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Ansel Adams
When the officer approached the window, he said 'Papers' and before he could finish, I shouted, 'Scissors! I win,' and drove off. ~ Kyle Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Kyle Adams
As the power of Christianity declined through the centuries that have followed the Reformation, Calvinism played a less and less important part, while the new philosophies of mechanism and rationalism correspondingly increased. ~ Ralph Adams Cram
Torey Adams quotes by Ralph Adams Cram
Our arrogance
causes us to imagine special value in this temporary collection
of molecules. Why do we perceive more spiritual value
in the sum of our body parts than on any individual cell in
our body? Why don't we hold funerals when skin cells die? ~ Scott Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Scott Adams
I don't get embarrassed by the same things that other people do. I would say that probably the biggest thing that holds people back is, 'If I do this, I'm going to look like an idiot if it doesn't work out.' ~ Scott Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Scott Adams
Negro Slavery is an evil of Colossal magnitude and I am utterly averse to the admission of Slavery into the Missouri Territories. ~ John Adams
Torey Adams quotes by John Adams
We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium. ~ Ansel Adams
Torey Adams quotes by Ansel Adams
