The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is the truth.
- James Branch Cabell - 1878-1959
Television the longest amateur night in history.
-Robert Carson - 1918
Democracy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' until you can find a rock.
-Wynn Catlin - 1930
When I was a boy I was told anyone could become President. I now believe it.
-Clarence Darrow - 1856-1938
There is no act of treachery or mean-ness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honor.
-Vivian Grey - 1824
Live continues to repeat it self.
More to come.

A quote about television from 1918? Sounds suspicious to me. Makes me question the others.

Suspicious of what. TV at it start was nothing but amateur. Is it really any better today or is it just more violence and over stimulation?

Not my point. There was no TV in 1918. The first broadcast was in the 1940's. Was the date of the quote also a typo?

And number two should be "Diplomacy", not "Democracy"....

Vivian Grey was a book written by Benjamin Disraeli in 1826. I couldn't find any reference to any other person by the name of Vivian Grey from that time period. Exactly where did you get these quotes?

This was merely a line from one of Cadell's books, The Silver Stallion. He never actually said this, one of his book's characters did.

The first quote has a range of dates... obviously when the person lived- or perhaps you are suggesting thats all this person said over and over between these two years...
If someones character in a book that they wrote says something, it is their copyrighted sentence and thus should always be quoted and indeed credited to that person.
The context of the first date led me to suspect that others may be a birth date as well. The author " Robert Carson - 1918" is a birth date idiot- google is your friend - he was born on April 7, 1918 and died March 24, 2006. Somewhere inbetween these two dates he must have said this and I do believe TV was invented along in there.
I like all of them and don't care who wrote them or said them - you are a conceited PITA. However your supposition is valid, when I see how you have regarded this post, I find all your others suspect.
