No compliment can be eloquent, except as an expression of indifference.

Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.

Blaise Pascal

My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.

John Green

It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.

Sophocles

I could play it safe by recording songs that are familiar, but am I expanding myself as an artist by doing covers? It's a catch-22. It's called show business: The word 'business' is in it, and you've got to be a businessman. But then again, you have to be true to yourself as an artist.

Donny Osmond

When millions applaud you seriously ask yourself what harm you have done; and when they disapprove you, what good.

Charles Caleb Colton

Getting talked about is one of the penalties for being pretty, while being above suspicion is about the only compensation for being homely.

Kin Hubbard

Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.

Will Smith

We must laugh at man to avoid crying for him.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Peace won by the compromise of principles is a short-lived achievement.
