• My theory is that everything went to hell with Prohibition, because it was a law nobody could obey. So the whole concept of the rule of law was corrupted at that moment. Then came Vietnam, and marijuana, which clearly shouldn't be illegal, but is. If you go to jail for ten years in Texas when you light up a joint, who are you? You're a lawbreaker. It's just like Prohibition was. When people accept breaking the law as normal, something happens to the whole society, you see?

  Orson Welles

• Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you. Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional.

But misery is a state of mind, a reaction to the facts, that can be controlled or altered by an act of will.

There are really only three types of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say, What happened?

  Ann Landers
