n sooth, I know not why I am so sad:It wearies me; you say it wearies you;But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born,I am to learn;And such a want-wit sadness makes of me,That I have much ado to know myself.

William Shakespeare

The Bible give us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. On list of human stories is used examples -- do what these people did. Another list of human stories is used as warnings -- don't do what these people did. So if your story ever gets in one of these books, make sure they use it as an example, not a warning.

Jim Rohn

Kaitlin Olson

Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.

Albert Einstein

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes. I had one thousand and sixty.
