Famous quotes

  • « Women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. »
    Scott Adams
  • « A lawyer who does not know men is handicapped. »
    William Dunbar
  • « It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped. »
    Hubert H. Humphrey
  • « You don't argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn't eat candy for dinner. You don't punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don't argue when a women tells you she's only making 80 cents to your dollar. It's the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles. »
    Scott Adams
  • « I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role. And I was - because I had graphic instances of it - handicapped by the success of Star Trek. A director would say, 'I don't want Jean-Luc Picard in my movie' - and this was compounded by X-Men as well. »
    Patrick Stewart
