"Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due."
W. R. Inge
"Until you've lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is."
Margaret Mitchell
"The fruit that can fall without shaking, indeed is too mellow for me."
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
"Admiration. Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves."
Ambrose Bierce
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
Mark Twain
"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."
Mark Twain
"Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal."
Leo Tolstoy
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
Douglas Adams
"Plato was a bore."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Any fool can make a rule."
Henry Thoreau
"The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint."
Erna Bombeck
"As the circle of light increases, so does the circumference of darkness around it."
Albert Einstein
"Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"I'm so fast that, last night, I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark."
Muhammad Ali
"The difference between the most dissimilar characters, between a philosopher and a common street porter, for example, seems to arise not so much from nature, as from habit, custom, and education."
Adam Smith
"Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention."
Adam Smith
"Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only."
Adam Smith
"Such is the delicacy of man alone, that no object is produced to his liking. He finds that in everything there is need for improvement. The whole industry of human life is employed not in procuring the supply of our three humble necessities, food, clothes and lodging, but in procuring the conveniences of it according to the nicety and delicacy of our tastes."
Adam Smith
"Man was made for action, and to promote by the exertion of his faculties such changes in the external circumstances both of himself and others, as may seem most favourable to the happiness of all."
Adam Smith
