Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.

Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

Happiness is the only sanction of life where happiness fails existence remains a mad and lamentable experiment.

The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

Happiness exists on earth and it is won through prudent exercise of reason knowledge of the harmony of the universe and constant practice of generosity.

I think in a way I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money for inventing two words and labeling something that has always been around.

What is most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men but they do not form a class.

Great passions my dear don't exist: they're liars fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while.

The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.

The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to 'create' rights. Rather they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting.

What the world needs is a small compact flexible fusion technology that could make electricity where and when it is needed. The existing fusion program is leading to a huge source of centralized power at a price that nobody except a government can afford.

The Republican form of government is the highest form of government: but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature a type nowhere at present existing.

Americans chose a limited government that exists to protect our rights not to grant them.

But America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights. That power belongs to the people. That government exists to protect our rights and serve our interests.That we shouldn't be trapped in the circumstances of our birth. That we should be free to go as far as our talents and work can take us.

There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed as every past one has done in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together.

But whether the Constitution really be one thing or another this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.

If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.

Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or unsought by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.

This country with its institutions belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.
