It is not best that we should all think alike; it is a difference of opinion that makes horse races.

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be.

William Hazlitt

Error is a hardy plant; it flourisheth in every soil; In the heart of the wise and good, alike with the wicked and foolish; For there is no error so crooked, but it hath in it some lines of truth; Nor is any poison so deadly, that it serveth not some wholesome use.

Martin Farquhar Tupper

Hector Hugh Munro

Gerhard Kocher

The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading.

David Bailey

Life is a journey. When we stop, things don't go right.

Pope Francis

There is no crime, absolutely none, that cannot be condoned when 'our' side commits it.

George Orwell

Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now. Thus in France the emetic was once forbidden as a medicine, and the potatoe as an article of food.

Thomas Jefferson

In matters of principals, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current.
