Well I don't have a name yet, but some apt and funny subtitles. I'll put the names as a comment so you can have fun guessing who said them.
I like this one but it's too long:
"The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery. They're the kind of people who'd stop to help you change a flat, but would somehow manage to set your car on fire. I would be reluctant to entrust them with a Cuisinart, let alone the economy. The Republicans, on the other hand, would know how to fix your tire, but they wouldn't bother to stop because they'd want to be on time for Ugly Pants Night at the country club."
We can both agree on the sentiment below, I think.
"There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots. What is it? Distrust."
"It may well be that our means are fairly limited and our possibilities restricted when it comes to applying pressure on our government. But is this a reason to do nothing? Despair is not an answer. Neither is resignation. Resignation only leads to indifference, which is not merely a sin but a punishment."
"Too bad that all the people who really know how to run the country are busy driving taxi cabs and cutting hair."
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. "
"In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican." ...Kidding, Sue!
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
That's enough for now...
