He is beginning to master wisdom when he tries to learn how not to try.

O teach me how I should forget to think (1.1.224)

William Shakespeare

A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.

Stendhal

We like to be deceived.

Blaise Pascal

Myths are about the human struggle to deal with the great passages of time and life - birth, death, marriage, the transitions from childhood to adulthood to old age. They meet a need in the psychological or spiritual nature of humans that has absolutely nothing to do with science. To try to turn a myth into a science, or a science into a myth, is an insult to myths, an insult to religion, and an insult to science. In attempting to do this, creationists have missed the significance, meaning, and sublime nature of myths. They took a beautiful story of creation and re-creation and ruined it.

Michael Shermer, Why People Beli

In prosperity prepare for a change; in adversity hope for one.

James Burgh

I want to wake up ev­ery day I have left to the warmth of your lips on mine, the sound of your voice singing next to me, the feel of your fin­gers on my skin and your heart beat­ing mu­sic with mine.

Christine Zolendz

Anxiety is the poison of human life; the parent of many sins and of more miseries. In a world where everything is doubtful, and where we may be disappointed, and be blessed in disappointment, why this restless stir and commotion of mind? Can it alter the cause, or unravel the mystery of human events?

Tryon Edwards

I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a big buffet in the shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about what kind of food you want, and the table would move across the floor to it.

Steven Wright

Study the past, if you would divine the future.

Confucius

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see.

Blaise Pascal

Pretend you are foolish to the foolish, and be yourself when you are alone or with others like you, because if you take the foolish seriously as your friend, you might be a fool yourself.

A Gentlemen

I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete.
