How earthy old people become --moldy as the grave! Their wisdom smacks of the earth. There is no foretaste of immortality in it. They remind me of earthworms and mole crickets.

Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day.

Thornton Wilder

Force never moves in a straight line, but always in a curve vast as the universe, and therefore eventually returns whence it issued forth, but upon a higher arc, for the universe has progressed since it started.

Kabbalah

Patience is the key to paradise.

Proverb

Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Experience hath shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Thomas Jefferson

She didn't quite know what the relationship was between lunatics and the moon, but it must be a strong one, if they used a word like that to describe the insane.

Paulo Coelho

So many rocks up in my watch I can't tell what time it is.

Wiz Khalifa

Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.

Ezra Pound

It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull.

Arthur Conan Doyle

What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.

Isabel Allende

Clearly, America's dysfunctional food culture must bear some of the blame for our excess pounds, but it's likely our walking-averse lifestyles contribute as well.

Andrew Weil

A good cause can become bad if we fight for it with means that are indiscriminately murderous. A bad cause can become good if enough people fight for it in a spirit of comradeship and self-sacrifice. In the end it is how you fight, as much as why you fight, that makes your cause good or bad.

Freeman Dyson
