"Squeeze the rich until the pips squeak"

-- Denis Healey

“What man needs is not philosophy or religion in the academic or formalistic sense of the term, but ability to think rightly. The malady of the age is not absence of philosophy or even irreligion but wrong thinking and a vanity which passes for knowledge. Though it is difficult to define right thinking, it cannot be denied that it is the goal of the aspirations of everyone.”
“Nobody has ever thought himself to death. The chief danger confronting us is not age. It is laziness, sloth, routine, stupidity, - forcing their way in like wind through the shutters, seeping into the cellar like swamp water.”
“The delight in gambits is a sign of chess youth... In very much the same way as the young man, on reaching his manhood years, lays aside the Indian stories and stories of adventure, and turns to the psychological novel, we with maturing experience leave off gambit playing and become interested in the less vivacious but withal more forceful manoeuvres of the position player.”
“When I grew up, what was interesting for me was that music was color and life was gray. So music for me has always been more than entertainment.”
“Tell him, on the contrary, that he needs, in the interest of his own happiness, to walk in the path of humility and self-control, and he will be indifferent, or even actively resentful.”
“I thought about all the people that told me I couldn't do it and told me I couldn't get there.”
“My friends, your people have both intellect and heart; you use these to consider in what way you can do the best to live.”
“I believe in nonfat. I gain two pounds when I eat a lamb chop.”
