I steal.
                -- Sam Giancana, explaining his livelihood to his draft board

Easy.  I own Chicago.  I own Miami.  I own Las Vegas.
                -- Sam Giancana, when asked what he did for a living

I think that all good, right thinking people in this country are sick and
tired of being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are
fed up with being told that all good, right thinking people in this country
are fed up with being sick and tired.  I'm certainly not, and I'm sick and
tired of being told that I am!
                -- Monty Python

I think the world is run by C students.
                -- Al McGuire

I trust the first lion he meets will do his duty.
                -- J.P. Morgan on Teddy Roosevelt's safari

I try not to break the rules but merely to test their elasticity.
                -- Bill Veeck

I try to keep an open mind, but not so open that my brains fall out.
                -- Judge Harold T. Stone

I use not only all the brains I have, but all those I can borrow as well.
                -- Woodrow Wilson

I used to be a rebel in my youth.

This cause... that cause... (chuckle) I backed 'em ALL!  But I learned.
Rebellion is simply a device used by the immature to hide from his own
problems.  So I lost interest in politics.  Now when I feel aroused by
a civil rights case or a passport hearing... I realize it's just a device.
I go to my analyst and we work it out.  You have no idea how much better
I feel these days.
                -- J. Feiffer

I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law.
                -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

I was appalled by this story of the destruction of a member of a valued
endangered species.  It's all very well to celebrate the practicality of
pigs by ennobling the porcine sibling who constructed his home out of
bricks and mortar.  But to wantonly destroy a wolf, even one with an
excessive taste for porkers, is unconscionable in these ecologically
critical times when both man and his domestic beasts continue to maraud
the earth.
