Herman Melville


We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

Jack Handey Deep Thoughts


I wish everybody would have to have an electric thing implanted in our heads that gave us a shock whenever we did something to disobey the president. Then somehow I get myself elected president.

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?
Seek virtue, and of that possest,
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.

Blaise Pascal


Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.

Henri-Frederic Amiel


To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy.

Pietro Aretino


A high heart ought to bear calamities and not flee them, since in bearing them appears the grandeur of the mind and in fleeing them the cowardice of the heart.

Norman Cousins


A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas-a place where history comes to life.

Jules Verne


Whatever one man is capable of conceiving, other men will be able to achieve.

Epictetus


Control thy passions, lest they take vengeance on thee.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


Science does not know its debt to imagination. Goethe did not believe that a great naturalist could exist without this faculty.

Eubie


Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind - listen to the birds. And don't hate nobody.

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, chapter 6


When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy.

Sir Arthur Eddington, The Philosophy of Physical Science


For the truth of the conclusions of physical science, observation is the supreme Court of Appeal. It does not follow that every item which we confidently accept as physical knowledge has actually been certified by the Court; our confidence is that it would be certified by the Court if it were submitted. But it does follow that every item of physical knowledge is of a form which might be submitted to the Court. It must be such that we can specify (although it may be impracticable to carry out) an observational procedure which would decide whether it is true or not. Clearly a statement cannot be tested by observation unless it is an assertion about the results of observation. Every item of physical knowledge must therefore be an assertion of what has been or would be the result of carrying out a specified observational procedure.

Thomas Jefferson


Democracy is 51% of the people taking away the rights of the other 49%.
