My conscience hath a thousand several tongues, and every tongue brings in a several tale, and every tale condemns me for a villain.

Milk the cow, but do not pull off the udder.

Proverb

Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.

Scottish Proverb

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

D. Elton Trueblood

Success is focusing the full power of all you are one what you have a burning desire to achieve.

Wilferd A. Peterson

There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human- in not having to be just happy or just sad- in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.

C. JoyBell C.

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

Oscar Wilde

With paper printed books, you have certain freedoms. You can acquire the book anonymously by paying cash, which is the way I always buy books. I never use a credit card. I don't identify to any database when I buy books. Amazon takes away that freedom.

Richard Stallman

I like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine.

Rainn Wilson

The appreciation of the merits of art (of the emotions it conveys) depends upon an understanding of the meaning of life, what is seen as good and evil. Good and evil are defined by religions.

Leo Tolstoy

The human mind is so complex and things are so tangled up with each other that, to explain a blade of straw, one would have to take to pieces an entire universe. A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble.

Remy de Gourmont

None of you knows what creativity means. To paint a picture, to write a poem? No! To recast one's whole age, to impose upon it the stamp of one's will, to fill it with beauty, to overwhelm it, to overpower it with one's spirit.

Christian Morgenstern

Always be a first rate version of yourself, and not a second rate version of someone else.

Judy Garland
