History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. -Sir Winston Churchill "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity. -Albert Einstein ******************************************************** Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood. William Shakespeare No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. -Friedrich Nietzsche It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them! -Friedrich Nietzsche ************* No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. -Friedrich Nietzsche *************** He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. -Friedrich Nietzsche, ***************** Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146 What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome. -Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist, section 2A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, We bid be quiet when we hear it cry; But were we burdened with like weight of pain, As much or more we should ourselves complain. -William Shakespeare ********************* Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood. -William Shakespeare ********************* I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood. -William Shakespeare ********************* I must be cruel only to be kind; Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind. -William Shakespeare ********************* Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science. Truth is what stands the test of experience. -Albert Einstein Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. -Albert Einstein ***************** Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.

It is the source of all true art and science. -Albert Einstein ******************* The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. -Albert Einstein ******************** The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. -Confucius All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire. -Aristotle ************ xoxo billiAll paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. -Aristotle ************* All virtue is summed up in dealing justly. -Aristotle ************* Education is the best provision for the journey to old age. -Aristotle ************* Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit. -Aristotle ************* Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. -Aristotle ************* Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime. Aristotle ************** To perceive is to suffer. -Aristotle ************** It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen. Aristotle, 'Nicomachean Ethics,' 325 B.C.

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. -Sir Winston Churchill ******************* A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril. -Sir Winston Churchill From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put. -Sir Winston Churchill **************** History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. -Sir Winston Churchill I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents. -Sir Winston Churchill **************** It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time. -Sir Winston Churchill ****************** A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone. -Henry David Thoreau ********************** Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it. -Henry David Thoreau ****************** As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. -Henry David Thoreau A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone. -Henry David Thoreau ***************** Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it. Henry David Thoreau As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. -Henry David Thoreau It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required. -Sir Winston Churchill ***************** Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. -Sir Winston Churchill A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. -Mark Twain ************** A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. -Mark Twain ****************** Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business. -Henry David Thoreau ****************** Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. -Henry David Thoreau ********************* Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it. -Henry David Thoreau Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. -Mark Twain ***************** Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. -Mark Twain **************** An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before. -Mark Twain **************** Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. -Mark Twain Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. -Mark Twain ************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. -Mark Twain *************** I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him. -Mark Twain ***************** America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination. -Oscar Wilde ************* Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. -Oscar Wilde ***************** However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society. -Henry David Thoreau ********************* A friend is one before whom I may think aloud. Ralph Waldo Emerson Genius is born--not paid. -Oscar Wilde ********* I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones. -Oscar Wilde All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. -Ralph Waldo Emerson **************** Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall com back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old. -Ralph Waldo Emerson ****************** A countryman between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats. -Benjamin Franklin I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again. -Oscar Wilde ***************** It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is fatal. Oscar Wilde ****************** Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. -Oscar Wilde ************** Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace. -Oscar Wilde **************** I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them. -Jane Austen **************** Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong? -Jane Austen ******************* Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion. -Jane Austen, Mansfield Park ******************** I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of. -Jane Austen, Mansfield Park Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. -Oscar Wilde ************* Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. -Oscar Wilde Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. -Mahatma Gandhi **************** Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. -Mahatma Gandhi Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes. -Confucius ************** Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. -Confucius **************** Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it. -Confucius *********** Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses. -Confucius ************* I hear and I forget.

I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life. -Mahatma Gandhi I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. -Mahatma Gandhi Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it. -Publilius Syrus ************* How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself. -Publilius Syrus ************** Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own. -Aesop ************* All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God. -Voltaire ************** I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.
