Lucius Annaeus Seneca

However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.

James Schuyler

I did not know that mankind were suffering for want of gold. I have seen a little of it. I know that it is very malleable, but not so malleable as wit. A grain of gold will gild a great surface, but not so much as a grain of wisdom.

Henry David Thoreau

Whoever envies another confesses his superiority

Samuel Johnson

Youth troubles over eternity, age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day.

Dame Mary Gilmore

The brain is a wonderful organ it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.

Terry Pratchett

Christopher McCandless

If you are kept in ignorance of the true way and permit yourself to rely upon and be guided by the opinion of imperfect man, you can never gain the riches that will bring you peace and lasting happiness.

Joseph Franklin Rutherford

William Shakespeare
