Danish proverb


Woe to the house where the hen crows and the rooster is still.

Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince


There are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others comprehend; and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others; the first is the most excellent, the second is good, and the third is useless.

Archibald MacLeish


The one man who should never attempt an explanation of a poem is its author. If the poem can be improved by it's author's explanations it never should have been published, and if the poem cannot be improved by its author's explanations the explanations are scarcely worth reading.

W. Somerset Maugham

Hugh Blair


True gentleness is founded on a sense of what we owe to him who made us and to the common nature which we all share. It arises from reflection on our own failings and wants, and from just views of the condition and duty of man. It is native feeling heightened and improved by principle.

Seneca


If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

Margaret Fuller


It is not because the touch of genius has roused genius to production, but because the admiration of genius has made talent ambitious, that the harvest is still so abundant.

Ninety percent of everything is crap.

Clive Staples Lewis


If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth - only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.

William Shakespeare, "Much Ado about Nothing", Act 2 scene 1


Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much.
