I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.

I want a pit crew... I hate the procedure I currently have to go through when I have car problems.

Dave Barry

People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives, and more romantic, and not necessarily of their own experiences.

Richard Thompson

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.

Rosalynn Carter

Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always like it the least.

Lord Chesterfield

In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers.

Harvey Cushing

An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.

George Orwell

The wise man sees in the misfortune of others what he should avoid.

Marcus Aurelius

The true pioneer of civilization is not the newspaper, not religion, not the railroad--but whiskey!

Mark Twain

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Mahatma Gandhi

It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.

Thornton Wilder

Grief makes one hour ten

William Shakespeare

Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not merely pull it out and strike it merely to show that you have one.

Lord Chesterfield
