A book is a mirror; if an ass peers into it, you can not expect an apostle to peer out.

Men should be what they seem.

William Shakespeare

A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.

Xenophon

But I have to say this in defense of humankind: In no matter what era in history, including the Garden of Eden, everybody just got here. And, except for the Garden of Eden, there were already all these games going on that could make you act crazy, even if you weren't crazy to begin with. Some of the crazymaking games going on today are love and hate, liberalism and conservatism, automobiles and credit cards, golf, and girls' basketball.

Kurt Vonnegut

I don't remember my dreams. I'm one of those weird people. I know there are tricks and things you can do, but I never remember my dreams.

Jayma Mays

Tom Conrad

When I started out back in Louisville, there was Harry Collins. He was my first teacher. He saw that I was so obsessed with magic that he taught me the love of magic.

Lance Burton

Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.

Groucho Marx

Resist your fear fear will never lead to you a positive end. Go for your faith and what you believe.

T. D. Jakes

Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due -- she reminds us too much of a prima donna.

E. M. Forster

What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center.

Al Lewis

Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.

Ben Stein

People generally quarrel because they cannot argue.

G. K. Chesterton
