Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah

I just ran across this quote by Voltaire, supposedly his last words before dying:

"Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies. "
Voltaire (attributed), when asked by a priest to renounce Satan

And these are supposedly the last words of Oscar Wilde:

"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go. "

I ran across this quote this morning which I liked:

"Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination."

~Robert Fulghum

I never saw that quote before, but I love it. It's funny and wise.
