Plato
There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
Blaise Pascal
We do not learn; and what we call learning is only a process of recollection.
It is not funny that anything else should fall down only that a man should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Never get married in college; it's hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you've already made one mistake.
Elbert Hubbard
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.
Mark Twain
So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.
Aldous Huxley

The great things in life are what they seem to be. And for that reason, strange as it may sound to you, often are very difficult to interpret (understand). Great passion are for the great of souls. Great events can only be seen by people who are on a level with them. We think we can have our visions for nothing. We cannot. Even the finest and most self-sacrificing visions have to paid for. Strangely enough, that is what makes them fine.

Edmund Burke
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.
Søren Kierkegaard
And Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is too weak and fuddled to shake off.
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letter
There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.

Mark Twain, The Tragedy of Pudd'
Tough times never last but tough people do.

Maya Angelou
I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.
There is a boundary to men's passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.
Perhaps I know why it is man alone who laughs: He alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.
Time is waste of money.
