C.S. Lewis

Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

Benjamin Franklin

Spiritual superiority only sees the individual. But alas, ordinarily we human beings are sensual and, therefore, as soon as it is a gathering, the impression changes -- we see something abstract, the crowd, and we become different. But in the eyes of God, the infinite spirit, all the millions that have lived and now live do not make a crowd, He only sees each individual.

Oscar Wilde

I knew a girl that was so ugly that... She uses a septic tank for a toilet.
