Capital is that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining further wealth.
Alfred Marshall
What you see before you is the result of a lifetime of chocolate.Additional note: Quoteland has received the following communication from John Philip Dayton regarding this quotation: I knew Katharine Hepburn well - produced her last three movies - not sure where you got the quote What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate - but it does not sound like Kate - she might have said it, but without the my friend. This is a phrase I have never, ever, heard her utter, and it would be highly uncharacteristic of her to do so - as far as the chocolate part goes, that, indeed is Kate - Sincerely, John Dayton
Katharine Hepburn, (attributed)

JeanAnthelme BrillatSavarin
...the taste of chocolate is a sensual pleasure in itself, existing in the same world as sex... For myself, I can enjoy the wicked pleasure of chocolate...entirely by myself. Furtiveness makes it better.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer
Live by this credo: have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations.
Red Skelton
Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in.
Edmund Burke
The key to life is your attitude. Whether you're single or married or have kids or don't have kids, it's how you look at your life, what you make of it. It's about making the best of your life wherever you are in life.
Candace Bushnell
It's nice to know that people appreciate and respect you.
Marcel Carne
Meat makes, and clothes shapes, but manners makes a man.
Scottish Proverb
You know, who cares about seeing the girls when everybody wants to see the band. That's what's important, KISS is important. I think we look great, and the attitude is there, and I'm real happy with it.
Eric Carr
Better good manners than good looks.
Proverb
We need to think more about the nature of rhetoric in anthropology. There isn't a body of knowledge and thought to fall back on in this regard.

Good manners and plenty of money will make my son a gentlemen.
My dad was an editor and a writer, and that's actually what I aspired to be.
Anne M. Mulcahy
But we are so fond of life that we have no leisure to entertain the terror of death. It is a honeymoon with us all through, and none of the longest. Small blame to us if we give our whole hearts to this glowing bride of ours, to the appetities, to honour, to the hungry curiosity of the mind, to the pleasure of the eyes in nature, and the pride of our own nimble bodies.
Robert Louis Stevenson, from 'Ae
No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.
Eddie Vedder
I must acknowledge an interest, or rather a dismay, in discussing this 'family memoir,' for from experience and observation I have come to regard the American Nuclear Family in the last 50 years as the enemy of individual determination, of personal autonomy--in short, as a disease.
Richard Howard, in a review of a
The inequalities are greater now than in '92. Some states have equalized per-pupil spending but they set the 'equal level' very low, so that wealthy districts simply raise extra money privately.
Jonathan Kozol
Heroism works in contradiction to the voice of mankind and in contradiction, for a time, to the voice of the great and good. Heroism is an obedience to a secret impulse of an individualhttp://www.bartleby.com/5/107.html
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays and
All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.
Stevie Smith
Every society by its own practice of living and by the mode of relatedness, of feelings, and perceiving, develops a system of categories which determines the forms of awareness.
Erich Fromm, Zen Buddhism and Ps
Life is not a thing of knowing only--nay, mere knowledge has properly no place at all save as it becomes the handmaiden of feeling and emotions.
Judge Learned Hand, The Spirit o
One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while.
Mark Spitz
In the artist's recreation of the world we are enabled to see the world.
John W. Gardner, The Art of Fict
But this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful.
Jupiter Hammon
The mind's deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man's unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity.
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyph
Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.
Julie Delpy
Reach me down my Tycho Brahe, I would know him when we meet,When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of howWe are working to completion, working on from then to now.Pray remember that I leave you all my theory complete,Lacking only certain data for your adding, as is meet,And remember men will scorn it, 'tis original and true,And the obliquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learned the worth of scorn,You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn,What for us are all distractions of men's fellowship and smiles;What for us the Goddess Pleasure with her meretricious smiles.You may tell that German College that their honor comes too late,But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate.Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Sarah Williams, The Old Astronom
We think of our efficient teachers with a sense of recognition, but those who touched our humanity we remember with gratitude. Learning is the essential mineral, but warmth is the life-element for the child's soul, no less than for the growing plant.
Carl Gustav Jung, The Gifted Chi
There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.
Vera Farmiga
Our conscious motivations, ideas, and beliefs are a blend of false information, biases, irrational passions, rationalizations, prejudices, in which morsels of truth swim around and give the reassurance albeit false, that the whole mixture is real and true. The thinking processes attempt to organize this whole cesspool of illusions according to the laws of plausibility. This level of consciousness is supposed to reflect reality; it is the map we use for organizing our life.
Erich Fromm, To Have or to Be?,
Our intellect has achieved the most tremendous things, but in the meantime our spiritual dwelling has fallen into disrepair.
Carl Gustav Jung, The Archetypes
The individual in the ordinary circumstances of living may feel more unreal than real; in a literal sense, more dead than alive; precariously differentiated from the rest of the world, so that his identity and autonomy are always in question.... He may not possess an over-riding sense of personal consistency or cohesiveness. He may feel more insubstantial than substantial, and unable to assume that the stuff he is made of is genuine, good, valuable. And he may feel his self as partially divorced from his body.
R. D. Laing, The Divided Self, 1
Our attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.
