Every day, people settle for less than they deserve. They are only partially living or at best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness.

Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war?

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Don't trust anyone over thirty.

Jerry Rubin

Genius begins great works labor alone finishes them.

Joseph Joubert

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.

Carl Jung

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.

Lemony Snicket

Gags die, humor doesn't.

Jack Benny

The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are this is where we came from and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.

J. Michael Straczynski

I commend my soul to any god that can find it.

Terry Pratchett

I respect the game that goes on of putting this against that, but I don't respect, nor do I enjoy, an awful lot of the actual programs that go on the air.

Roone Arledge

Virtue is insufficient temptation.

George Bernard Shaw

To laugh often and much;to win the respect of intelligent peopleand the affection of children,to leave the world a better place,to know even one life has breathed easierbecause you have lived,this is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.

Miguel de Unamuno
