Expect nothing, live frugally on surprise.
Happiness may be defined as good fortune joined to virtue, or a independence, or as a life that is both agreeable and secure
Aristotle
She was stronger alone
Jane Austen
You experienced pain yesterday and you discovered that it led to pleasure.You experienced it today and found peace.That's why I'm telling you:Don't get used to it,because it's very easy to become habituated:it's a very powerful drug.It's in our daily lives,in our hidden sufferings,in the sacrifices we make,blaming love for the destruction of our dreams.Pain is frightening when it shows its real face, but it's seductive when it comes disguised as sacrifice or se-denial.Or cowardice.However much we may reject it,we human human beings always find a way of being with pain,of flirting with it and making it part of our lives.
Paulo Coelho
Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them.
And oft, my jealousy shapes faults that are not
William Shakespeare
Tot a?a cum galbenul este intotdeauna asociat cu lumina, se poate spune ?i c? albastrul aduce cu el ?i un principiu al întunericului. Aceast? culoare are un efect special ?i aproape indescriptibil asupra ochiului. Pe scara culorilor este una puternic?, îns? de partea negativ?, ?i la maximum de puritate este, cum s-ar zice, o nega?ie stimulatoare. Aspectul s?u este deci un fel de contradic?ie între excita?ie ?i calm.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
She was so fat that her bathtub has stretch marks.
Rodney Dangerfield
Trzymajcie si? z dala od cz?owieka, który pracowa? w pocie czo?a nad rozwi?zaniem jakiej? zagadki, rozwi?za? j? i stwierdzi?, ?e nie jest m?drzejszy ni? przedtem - powiada Bokonon. - Przepe?nia go bowiem mordercza pogarda do ludzi, którzy s? równie g?upi jak on, ale nie doszli do swojej g?upoty równie ci??k? prac?.
Kurt Vonnegut
The pyramids, attached with age, have forgotten the names of their founders.
Richard Buckminster Fuller
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
You can never learn less, you can only learn more.
Don't fight forces, use them.
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.
Measures of sterilization should, in my opinion, be very definitely confined to persons who are mentally defective
Bertrand Russell
Evolution has meant that our prefrontal lobes are too small, our adrenal glands are too big, and our reproductive organs apparently designed by committee; a recipe which, alone or in combination, is very certain to lead to some unhappiness and disorder.
Christopher Hitchens
The Warrior looks at the column of Fear, where he reads: you are about to enter an unknown and dangerous world where all that you have learned up to now will be of no use whatsoever.The Warrior of Light looks at the column of Desire, where he reads: you are about to leave a known world where all the things you always wanted and all that you have fought so hard for are kept.The Warrior smiles, because nothing can frighten him and nothing can hold him. With the confidence of those who know what they want, he opens the door.
Just because you didn't put a name to something did not mean it wasn't there.
Jodi Picoult
Friendship often ends in love but love in friendshipnever.
Albert Camus
Nothing was or is farther from my intentions, than to enlist myself as the champion of a fixed opinion, where I have only expressed doubt.
Thomas Jefferson
knowing is not enough,we must applywilling is not enough,we must do..
In the beginning man was poor, then along came Cosmic Ordering.
Stephen Richards
I had a girlfriend that was so fat she wore a CROSS YOUR THIGHS bra.
It was love, she thought, love that never clutch its object; but, like the love which mathematicians bear their symbols, or poets their phrases, was meant to be spread over the world and become part of human gain. The world by all means should have shared it, could Mr Bankes have said why that woman pleased him so; why the sight of her reading a fairy tale to her boy had upon him precisely the same effect as the solution of a scientific problem.
Virginia Woolf
Men spend their time chasing a ball or a hare; it is the very sport of kings.
Blaise Pascal
Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.
Benjamin Franklin
Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .
Ernest Hemingway
When he shall die,Take him and cut him out in little stars,And he will make the face of heaven so fineThat all the world will be in love with nightAnd pay no worship to the garish sun.
People do not make wars; governments do.
Ronald Reagan
He who has attained the freedom of reason to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth - and not even as a traveler towards a final goal, for there is no such thing. But he certainly wants to observe and keep his eyes open to whatever actually happens in the world; therefore he cannot attach his heart too firmly to anything individual; he must have in himself something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transitoriness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.
Oscar Wilde
The trouble with being a god is that you've got no one to pray to.
Terry Pratchett
The pursuit of knowledge is, I think, mainly actuated by love of power
I knew a girl that was so fat that when guys had sex with her they had to ask for directions.
Free yourself from the burden of feeling the need to hold on to anything. Let go you are a part of everything.
Steve Maraboli
My wife has cut me down to once a month, I'm lucky I know two guys she cut off completely
One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it.
Martin Luther King Jr.
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
I wear not My dagger in my mouth
Most men appear never to have considered what a house is, and are actually though needlessly por all their lives because they think that they must have such a one as their neighbors have. As if one were to wear any sort of coat which the tailor might cut out for him, or gradually leaving off palm-leaf hat or cap of woodchuck skin, complain of hard times because he could not afford to buy him a crown! It is possible to invent a house still more convenient and luxurious than we have, which yet all would admit that man could not afford to pay for. Shall we always study to obtain more of these things, and not sometimes be content with less?
Henry David Thoreau
