Commit Quotations
I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
Mark Twain
Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.
Voltaire
Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
Voltaire
As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.
Voltaire
Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.
Napoleon Hill
I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn't commit.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.
