Art is more godlike than science. Science discovers; art creates.

A house is no home unless it contain food and fire for the mind as well as for the body.

Margaret Fuller

Happiness is activity.

Aristotle

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

He'll cheat without scruple, who can without fear

Benjamin Franklin

A salesman must also have flexible goals. You may say, I want to sell 10 accounts this week, and you sell five. You're ready to die. But, you tell yourself, Five isn't too bad. You know, next week maybe I'll sell 10.

Curtis Carlson

In rivers and bad governments, the lightest things swim at the top

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

The pseudonym for God when He did not want to sign.

Anatole France

To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words. Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.

George Orwell

Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
