El problema es que los humanos tienen el don de elegir precisamente las cosas que son peores para ellos.

An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?

Michel De SaintPierre

You have to sow before you can reap. You have to give before you can get.

Robert Collier

Young children were sooner allured by love, than driven by beating, to attain good learning.

Roger Ascham

She picked up the book and then walked back past him into the tent, but as she did so, she brushed the top of his head lightly with her hand. He closed his eyes at her touch, and hated himself for wishing that what she said was true: that Dumbledore had really cared.

J.K. Rowling

Any story about revenge is ultimately a story about forgiveness, redemption, or the futility of revenge.

Nick Wechsler

Unemployment is sky-rocketing; deflation is in our future for the first time since the Great Depression. I don't care whose fault it is, it's the truth.

John Mellencamp

Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbours.

Rudyard Kipling

Suddenly a single shot on the extreme left rang out on the clear morning air, followed quickly by several others, and the whole line pushed rapidly forward through the brush.

John Gibbon

During my most recently controlled near-death experience, I got to interview William Shakespeare. We did not hit it off. He said the dialect I spoke was the ugliest English he had ever heard, fit to split the ears of groundlings. He asked if it had a name, and I said Indianapolis.

For my own family, I would always choose the makeshift, surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.

Anne Tyler

I'm not against machines, as are some people who feel that the computer is leading us back into the jungle...I'm against machines only when the convenience they afford to some people is regarded as more important than the inconvenience they cause to all. In short, I don't think computers should wear the pants or make the decisions. They are deficient in humor, they are not intuitive, and they are not aware of the imponderables. The men who feed them seem to believe that everything is made out of ponderables, which isn't the case. I read a poem once that a computer had written, but didn't care much for it. It seemed to me I could write a better one myself, if I were to put my mind to it.
