William Graham Sumner


Property left to a child may soon be lost; but the inheritance of virtue--a good name an unblemished reputation--will abide forever. If those who are toiling for wealth to leave their children, would but take half the pains to secure for them virtuous habits, how much more serviceable would they be. The largest property may be wrested from a child, but virtue will stand by him to the last.

Erich Fromm


Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market.

Thomas Osbert Mordaunt


Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife,
Throughout the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life,
Is worth an age without name.

Gay


Shall ignorance of good and ill
Dare to direct the eternal will?

To Providence resign the rest.

George Santayana


Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in the conclusions their reasons are always different.

Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.

Henri-Frederic Amiel
