Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.

Who ever mocks the poor insults his maker; and he that is glad at calamities shall not go unpunished.

Bible

To understand the world one must not be worrying about one's self.

Albert Einstein

The old age old story of Yin

Timothy Pina

When I grew up, people said, 'You'll never be the man your dad was.' And I said, 'Gee, I hope not.'

Rip Torn

The more laws, the less justice.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

It is almost impossible to bear the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody's beard.

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Adversity is the first path to truth.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron, Don

There is a great solitude about such a shore. The woods are never solitary- they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity. We can never pierce its infinite mystery- we may only wander, awed and spell-bound, on the outer fringe of it. The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only- a mighty voice that drowns our souls in its majestic music. The woods are human, but the sea is of the company of the archangels.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

At root fame is a sham. I'm not going to live forever and if I am I certainly need don't you to tell me that so that I will buy a car or a box of dried up crackers.

Nick Mancuso

Whether Canada ends up as o-ne national government or two national governments or several national governments, or some other kind of arrangement is, quite frankly, secondary in my opinion.

Stephen Harper

The design of those commissioners, frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions, than to the imagined reform of New England.

Peter Stuyvesant

In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud: Under the bludgeoning of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed.

William Ernest Henley
