The choicest thing this world has for a man is affection.

The tragedy is not that love doesn't last. The tragedy is the love that lasts.

Shirley Hazzard

Please all, and you will please none.

Aesop

To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nature is neutral.

Adlai E. Stevenson

When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.

John Wanamaker

Angels and ministers of grace defend us.Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damned,Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell,Be thy intents wicked, or charitable,Thou com'st in such a questionable shape,That I will speak to thee.

William Shakespeare

Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.

Sholem Asch

It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.

General Douglas MacArthur

Always this same morbid interest in other people and their doings, their privacies, their dirty linen, always this air of alertness for personal happenings, personalities, personalities, personalities. Always this subtle criticism and appraisal of other people, this analysis of other people's motives. If anatomy presupposes a corpse, then psychology presupposes a world of corpses. Personalities, which means personal criticism and analysis, presuppose a whole world laboratory of human psyches waiting to be vivisected. If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink, at last, as human psychology.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

Hunter S. Thompson

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Bruce Lee

Civilization has given us enormous successes: going to the moon, technology. But then this is the civilisation that took us to debt, environmental crisis, every single crisis. We need a civilization where we say goodbye to these things.

Muhammad Yunus
