With the author

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as 'caring' and 'sensitive' because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money.

P. J. O'Rourke

The Nobel Peace Prize has always been a joke - albeit a grim one. Alfred Bernhard Nobel famously invented dynamite and felt sorry about it.

P. J. O'Rourke

Art Nouveau got its inspiration from nature. The Bauhaus got its inspiration from engineering.

P. J. O'Rourke

When I was fifteen, I dreamed of living in the big city, as many a young person does if he is artistic and sensitive. By 'artistic and sensitive' I mean short, skinny, unkissed, bad at sports, and carrying a C average in high school.

P. J. O'Rourke

Positive rights are the right to shelter, the right to education, the right to health care, the right to a living wage. These things are - these are, I would call them, more properly, political rights rather than positive rights. And they are extremely tricky, because now we are dealing with things that are zero sum.

P. J. O'Rourke

All change is bad. But sometimes it has to be done.

P. J. O'Rourke

Never fight an inanimate object.

Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have.

Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.

Joe Biden

Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is... the highway to success.

Og Mandino

The only reason my work seems to be eclectic up to a certain period is because I was a failure as an actor.

Hugh Grant

There are many victories worse than a defeat.

George Eliot

Most of us spend the first six days of each week sowing wild oats; then we go to church on Sunday and pray for a crop failure.

Fred Allen

Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.

Douglas Coupland

The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.

Steve Forbes

Not failure, but low aim is sin.
