Every man wishes to be wise, and they who cannot be wise are almost always cunning.

Except for their genitals, I don't know what immutable differences exist between men and women. Perhaps there are some other unchangeable differences; probably there are a number of irrelevant differences.

We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society.

Benjamin Carson

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late

Benjamin Franklin

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

Saint Francis de Sales

The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.

Sigmund Freud

A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most. On Other Peoples Expectations: The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor; he took my measurement anew every time he saw me, while all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me.

George Bernard Shaw

The intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.

Baltasar Gracian

False greatness is unsociable and remote: conscious of its own frailty, it hides, or at least averts its face, and reveals itself only enough to create an illusion and not be recognized as the meanness that it really is. True greatness is free, kind, familiar and popular; it lets itself be touched and handled, it loses nothing by being seen at close quarters; the better one knows it, the more one admires it.

Jean de la Bruyere

so familiar that you slide back to the place where you fit.

Jodi Picoult

The one image that's been causing a lot of discussion is one image that I shot of a man falling head-first from the building, before the buildings fell down. He was trapped in the fire, and decided to jump and take his own life, rather than being burned.

Richard Drew

Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.
