John Updike, A Month of Sundays

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.

Terry Bradshaw

He does it with better grace, but I do it more natural.

William Shakespeare

What would life be without arithmetic, but a scene of horrors?

Sydney Smith

Punctuality is the soul of business.

Thomas C. Haliburton

You can become famous but you can't become unfamous. You can become infamous but not unfamous.
