Straight to the Quotations ...

Joseph T. Chew


Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces.

Francis Quarles


If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.

George Burton Adams


Note how good you feel after you have encouraged someone else. No other argument is necessary to suggest that never miss the opportunity to give encouragement.

Pindar


A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.

Edward Young


Procrastination is the thief of time.

Mark Twain, Notebooks (1935)


Familiarity breeds contempt - and children.

Francis Crawford


To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself.

Wystan Hugh Auden


The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.

Bill Beham


Dreams take us to levels we would otherwise be afraid to strive for.

C. S. Lewis


Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
