Every relationship between persons causes a picture of each to take form in the mind of the other, and this picture evidently is in reciprocal relationship with that personal relationship.

Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

Oscar Levant

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.

Socrates

There is nothing more fatal to a man whose business is to think than to have learned the art of regaling his mind with airy gratifications

Samuel Johnson

In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.

Shania Twain

In a society of little economic development, universal inactivity accompanies universal poverty. You survive not by struggling against nature, or by increasing production, or by relentless labor; instead you survive by expending as little energy as possible, by striving constantly to achieve a state of immobility.

Ryszard Kapuscinski

Damn it, how will I ever get out of this labyrinth?

Simón Bolívar

What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.

Johann von Goethe

The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.

Martin Luther King Jr.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Albert Camus

People who truly love us can be divided into two categories: those who understand us, and those who forgive us our worst sins. Rarely do you find someone capable of both.

Jonathan Carroll

There is a lot of interest in the arts, music, theatre, filmmaking, engineering, architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.

John Baldacci

The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, and love. They do not require coupons.

George T. Hewitt
