All of us have a place in history. Mine is clouds.
If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed.
C.S. Lewis
I realize that they giggle and I actually laugh, that they show their cleavage and I have none to show, but just so you know, I am also a girl. I'm one of the three wise MEN. And it's gay to think that James Bond is hot.
John Green
You want to know what I want? I'm sick of being a guinea pig. I'm sick, but I'm never f*cking sick enough for this family.
Jodi Picoult
Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was the end of the October term of my sophomore year, and everything was petty normal, except for Social Studies, which was no big surprise. Mr. Dimas, who taught the class, had a reputation for unconventional teaching methods. For midterms he had blindfolded us, then had us each stick a pin in a map of the world and we got to write essays on wherever the pin stuck. I got Decatur, Illinois. Some of the guys complained because they drew places like Ulan Bator or Zimbabwe. They were lucky. YOU try writing ten thousand words on Decatur, Illinois.
Neil Gaiman
Men seek rest in a struggle against difficulties; and when they have conquered these, rest becomes insufferable.
Blaise Pascal
I asked my wife if she would put out the garbage. She said...Why should I... you never put out for me.
Rodney Dangerfield
A wide and vague impression exists that so-called Eastern religion is more contemplative, innocuous, and humane than the proselytizing monotheisms of the West. Don't believe a word of this: try asking the children of Indochina who were dumped by their parents for inherited deformities that were attributed to sins in a previous 'life.
Christopher Hitchens
It is strange how a scrap of poetry works in the mind and makes the legs move in time to it along the road.
Virginia Woolf
Those have a short Lent, who owe money to be paid at Easter.
Benjamin Franklin
We live but a fraction of our lives
Henry David Thoreau
A tragedy, then, is the imitation of an action... with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.
Aristotle
Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
Albert Einstein
The public wishes itself to be managed like a woman; one must say nothing to it except what it likes to hear
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Do not focus on your failings, for you will only encourage them. If you keep beating yourself up on the head over these, you will only reinforce them.
Stephen Richards
CURIOSITY, n. An objectionable quality of the female mind. The desire to know whether or not a woman is cursed with curiosity is one of the most active and insatiable passions of the masculine soul.
Ambrose Bierce
Nothing you do in the White House matters. You know why not? Because as far as the mass of voting morons is concerned, while you're in office, you'll still be the worst single president they've ever had until you stop. Then it's some other poor bastard's turn. And even that doesn't matter, because ten, twenty years later, they'll look back on you, and wonder why they didn't appreciate you when they had you...You don't get to make a difference. You don't get to do jack shit. You know what you get?...You get an entry in the history book, and every 15 minutes, every day at Disneyworld, an animatronic puppet wearing your face will wave or nod when the spotlight hits it.
If you want to be Happy,BE
Leo Tolstoy
mankind have a little corrupted nature, for they were not born wolves, and they have become wolves; God has given them neither cannon of four-and-twenty pounders, nor bayonets; and yet they have made cannon and bayonets to destroy one another.
Voltaire
The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are
There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.
Ronald Reagan
All salvation is temporary,' Augustus shot back. 'I bought them a minute. Maybe that's the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one's gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that's not nothing.'
I have heard of a man lost in the woods and dying of famine and exhaustion at the foot of a tree, whose loneliness was relieved by the grotesque visions with which, owing to bodily weakness, his diseased imagination surrounded him, and which he believed to be real. So also, owing to bodily and mental health and strength, we may be continually cheered by a like but more normal and natural society, and come to know that we are never alone.
Wasting our time? This is a waste of time, to live in peace and plenty with my wife and children? May I waste the rest of my life, then.
Orson Scott Card
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does the truth become error because nobody will see it.( 1924-1926)
Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You shewed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.
Jane Austen
Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions.
He is his own best friend, and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude
It is wrong and immoral to seek to escape the consequences of one's acts.
Certain things in life simply have to be experienced -and never explained. Love is such a thing.
Paulo Coelho
The last act is tragic, however happy all the rest of the play is; at the last a little earth is thrown upon our head, and that is the end for ever.
Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices
The purpose of fear is to raise your awareness not to stop your progress.
Steve Maraboli
You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.
The only thing limiting your aspiration is your imagination.
We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgment.
My mistakes have been my greatest mentors.
