The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.

The truth is that history constantly presents new problems in the guise of old.

William Pfaff

Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which is never advisable.

Oscar Wilde

It is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shouting at you.

Woodrow Wilson

New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture.

Jackson Pollock

It is most difficult, in my mind, to separate any success, whether it be in your profession, your family, or as in my case, in basketball, from religion.

John Wooden

It boils down to this: we should have done with humbug, and let war be war, and not a game ... If there were none of this magnanimity business in warfare, we should never go to war, except for something worth facing certain death for.

Leo Tolstoy

I am not much an advocate for traveling, and I observe that men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places. For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In asking forgiveness of women for our mythologizing of their bodies, for being unreal about them, we can only appeal to their own sexuality, which is different but not basically different, perhaps, from our own. For women, too, there seems to be that tangle of supplication and possessiveness, that descent toward infantile undifferentiation, that omnipotent helplessness, that merger with the cosmic mother-warmth, that flushed pulse-quickened leap into overestimation, projection, general mix-up.

John Updike

I am fiercely loyal to those willing to put their money where my mouth is.

Paul Harvey

Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many players on the field?

Jim Boulton

Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.

C. S. Lewis

Somebody knows.
