We are constituted so that simple acts of kindness, such as giving to charity or expressing gratitude, have a positive effect on our long-term moods. The key to the happy life, it seems, is the good life: a life with sustained relationships, challenging work, and connections to community.

Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved.

Thucydides

The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.

Robert Green Ingersoll

From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.

Publilius Syrus

I don't like that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.

Abraham Lincoln

Could they be perpetrated without being known, in a country like this, where social and literary intercourse is on such a footing, where every man is surrounded by a neighbourhood of voluntary spies, and where roads and newspapers lay everything open?

Jane Austen

There's more pressure to be famous for being yourself than if you're being a character.

Kim Kardashian

I think that novels that leave out technology misrepresent life as badly as Victorians misrepresented life by leaving out sex.

Kurt Vonnegut

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.

Aldous Huxley

The world is indeed a mixture of truth and make-believe. Discard the make-believe and take the truth.

Ramakrishna

We have no firm hold on any knowledge or philosophy that can lift us out of our difficulties.

Anne Sullivan Macy

When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails.

Albert Einstein

I've always loved interior design.
