"A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to."
Laurence Peter
"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more."
Dorothy Parker
"A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines."
Frank Lloyd Wright
"The nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault."
Henry Kissinger
"To have doubted one's own first principles is the mark of a civilized man."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead."
Author Unknown
"We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs."
C.S. Lewis
"I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want."
Madonna Ciccone
"A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"I mistrust the judgment of every man in a case in which his own wishes are concerned."
Daniel Webster
"If there is one sound the follows the march of humanity, it is the scream."
David Gemmell
"A man can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Just as your hand, held before the eye, can hide the tallest mountain, so this small earthly life keeps us from seeing the vast radiance that fills the core of the universe."
Nachman of Bratslav
"Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world."
Ansel Adams
"This world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel."
Horace Walpole
"We do survive every moment, after all, except the last one."
John Updike
"Rhis is to be asserted in general of men: that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed, are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life, and children...when the need is far distant; but when it approaches, they will turn against you."
Nicolo Machiavelli
"Round numbers are always false."
Samuel Johnson
