At one time or another I have insulted everybody and I am proud of that. Folks, let me sum it up for you: I think religion is bad, and drugs are good. I think America causes cancer, longevity is less important than fun and young people should be discouraged from voting. I think stereotypes are true, abstinence is a perversion, Bush's lies are worse than Clinton's, and there is nothing sexy about being old or pregnant. I think 9-11 changed nothing, and if I had known the onset of war would add a hundred points onto Bush's I.Q., I would have started one. I think pornography stops rape, I think AIDS ribbons are stupid, and a flag burning makes me feel patriotic. I think death is not the worst thing that can happen. I think people have too much self-esteem, and being drunk is funny. I think children are not innocent, God doesn't write books, and Jesus wasn't a republican. I am for mad cow disease, and against suing tobacco companies. I think girls hate each other, no doesn't always mean no, you have to lie to stay married, women's sports are boring, and the Olympics are gay. We'll be on for another six weeks here on ABC... ~ Bill Maher, prior to ABC cancelling his show

The positive power of virtue is enormous. When we don't live by these precepts, it is said we live like wild beasts; without them, all other spiritual practice is a sham. Imagine trying to sit down to meditate after a day of lying and stealing. Then imagine what a different world this would be if everyone kept one precept -- not to kill, not to lie, or not to steal. We would truly create a new world order. ~ Jack Kornfield ( from "A Path With Heart")
