He who desires but does not act, breeds pestilence.

A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.

Ovid

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

William Henry Channing

At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.

Kiana Tom

Charles Baudelaire

There is no need for false solidity when you are at peace with the universal expanse of your true Being.

Michael A. Singer

If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self-help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.

Johann von Goethe, Wilhelm Meist

Remember, remember always that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

A successful book cannot afford to be more than ten percent new.

Marshall McLuhan

I went to see my doctor. Doctor, every morning when I get up and look in the mirror . . . I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me? He said, I don't know but your eyesight is perfect.

Rodney Dangerfield
