Charles E. Wilson


No plan can prevent a stupid person from doing the wrong thing in the wrong place at the wrong time--but a good plan should keep a concentration from forming.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Michelangelo Buonarroti


Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold beyond the world she soars the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend.

Martin Heidegger


For authentic living what is needed is the resolute confrontation of death.

Jean Jacques Rousseau


As soon as any man says of the affairs of the State "What does it matter to me?" the State may be given up for lost.

Eric Idle


At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.

Oscar Wilde


One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.

F Scott


It's not a slam at you when people are rude-it's a slam at the people they've met before.

George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, 1903


A learned man is an idler who kills time with study. Beware of his false knowledge: it is more dangerous than ignorance.

Edith Sitwell


Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.
