P. G. Wodehouse


To my daughter Leonora without whose never failing sympathy and encouragement this book would have been completed in half the time.

Publilius Syrus


The end always passes judgement on what has gone before.

Abraham Lincoln


If this is coffee, please bring me some tea but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

Saturday Review


Penicillin was indeed the product of accidental discovery, but the discovery was made, and the knowledge developed, because certain scientists had definite goals in mind. "Chance," Pastuer wrote, "favors only the prepared mind." The mind must be prepared not only by scientific training and technological know-how, but also by the awareness of social needs.

Norman Douglas


If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.

Scottish Proverb


A cold needs the cook as much as the doctor.

Stephen King


If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write.

Sydney Smith

William Hazlitt


First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions. A man's look is the work of years it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.

Socrates


Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.

James Baldwin


I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.

Olive Schreiner


My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those who are sad.

Walter Landor


My thoughts are my company I can bring them together, select them, detain them, dismiss them.

I never have a realistic sense of self. I either think everything I do is terrible and I'm the worst guy on the planet, or from time to time I'll think I'm the greatest gift to music and the coolest guy who ever lived, but that happens maybe an hour out of the week. Some days I'm more concerned with how my hair looks than what my guitar sounds like.

Horace


Mix a little foolishness with your prudence It's good to be silly at the right moment.

Oscar Wilde


The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Sir Walter Besant


If you must hold yourself up to your children, hold yourself up as an object lesson and not as an example.

Ursula K. LeGuin


As great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope.

Ogden Nash


When there are monsters there are miracles.
