I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

Women are most fascinating between the ages of 35 and 40 after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass 40 maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.

To avoid entangling alliances has been a maxim of our policy ever since the days of Washington and its wisdom no one will attempt to dispute.

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.

When it comes to locations I'm one of those crazy authors who has to see it touch it taste it before I trust myself to recreate it for my readers. Having said that visiting a locked-down pediatric psych ward was the most intimidating research I've ever done - and I've visited maximum security prisons shooting galleries bone collections etc.

A teacher should have maximal authority and minimal power.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Calm open debate and logical thought drive strength to its maximum effectiveness.

I don't think there's a date minimum or maximum. I don't get the whole 'All right you've got to wait three days to call after the date.' If I got a number from a girl I'd call that night. There's no science to it for me. You just do what it is that you feel like doing.

If you are killed because you are a writer that's the maximum expression of respect you know.
