William Shakespeare


God bless thee and put meekness in thy mind, love, charity, obedience, and true duty

Henry David Thoreau, WALDEN: Or, Life in the Woods


Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!

Henny Youngman


My Grandmother is over eighty and still doesn't need glasses. Drinks right out of the bottle.

Benjamin Franklin


He that lives upon hope will die fasting.

Virginia Woolf


It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

Jeff Melvoin


You're confusing product with process. Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they're talking about product. That's not art, that's the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I'm not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.

Rita Rudner


My mother buried three husbands, and two of them were just napping.

Johathan Edwards


Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.

Walt Whitman


I celebrate myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Charles Dickens


In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.

Marcel Proust


The bonds that unite another person to ourselves exist only in our mind. Memory as it grows fainter relaxes them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we would fain be cheated and with which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we cheat other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature that cannot emerge from himself, that knows his fellows only in himself when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.

William Blake


To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

La Rochefoucauld


One is never as fortunate or as unfortunate as one thinks.

King Whitney Jr.


Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

Babe Didrikson


Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure.

Benjamin Franklin


He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue.

Aeschylus


It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath.

Richard Milhous Nixon


This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation. (Saluting crew of the Apollo 11)

Alfred Whitney


Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education.

Aesop


The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.

Franklin P. Jones


One thing you will probably remember well is any time you forgive and forget.

Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

Col. Jack Ripper, commander of Burpleson AFB to Group Capt. Mandrake (Peter Sellers) in Dr. Strangelove


(Clemenceau) once said that war is too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he may have been right...but now, war is too important to be left to the politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought...And I can no longer, sit around and allow Communist subversion, Communist corruption, and Communist infiltration of our precious bodily fluids.

Confucius


What the superior man seeks is in himself what the small man seeks is in others.
