Cicero


There is nothing so ridiculous but some philosopher has said it.

Robert Frost


I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.

Ambrose Bierce


Politeness, n. The most acceptable hypocrisy.

Jesse Lair


Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit we cannot flower and grow without it.

Kahlil Gibran


I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.

Earl of Chesterfield


Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Greek Proverb


The net of the sleeper catches fish.

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.

Robin Green


Spring has sprung. We're free at last, people. Free at last. Thank you mother nature, we're free. Time to toss open that metaphysical window and check out that psychic landscape. See lots of possibilities budding out there. Time to hoe those rows, feed that seed. Pretty soon you get a garden.

Bertrand Russell


It may seem to your conceited to suppose that you can do anything important toward improving the lot of mankind. But this is a fallacy. You must believe that you can help bring about a better world. A good society is produced only by good individuals, just as truly as a majority in a presidential election is produced by the votes of single electors. Everybody can do something toward creating in his own environment kindly feelings rather than anger, reasonableness rather than hysteria, happiness rather than misery.

C. S. Lewis


Do not let us mistake necessary evils for good.

C. Kent Wright


To sway an audience, you must watch them as you speak.

Blaise Pascal, quoted by Rebecca West in BLACK LAMB AND GREY FALCON: A JOURNEY THROUGH YUGOSLAVIA, 1940


Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him. A vapour, a drop of water, suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be more noble than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.

Arnold J. Toynbee


As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.

Leonard Brandwein


Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.

J. R. R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.


Advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise.

Ronald Reagan, Address to the Nation, Jan 16, 1984


History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.

Michel de Montaigne


A man of understanding has lost nothing, if he has himself.

John Milton, Paradise Lost


Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell.

Neil Simon, in Playboy, Feb. 1979


There are two million interesting people in New York and only seventy-eight in Los Angles.

William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar", Act 3 scene 1


Et tu, Brute!

David Assael


Spring is about to spring. Persephone is coming back and the ice is groaning, about to break with the exquisite and deafening roar. It's a time for madness a time for our fangs to come down and our eyes to glaze over so that the beast in us can sing with unmitigated joy. Oh yes, ecstasy, I welcome thee

Denis Diderot

Francis Bacon


For those who intend to discover and to understand, not to indulge in conjectures and soothsaying, and rather than contrive imitation and fabulous worlds plan to look deep into the nature of the real world and to dissect it -- for them everything must be sought in things themselves.

Pliny the Younger, Letters


His only fault is that he has no fault.

Machiavelli


It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. For the reformer has enemies in all those who would profit by the old order, only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new.

Dorothy Sarnoff


Make sure you have finished speaking before your audience has finished listening.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


There are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.

Joseph Addison


The friendships of the world are oft confederacies in vice, or leagues of pleasures.

Thomas Jefferson


The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best.

D. H. Lawrence


How beautiful maleness is, if it finds its right expression.

La Rochefoucald


Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.
