Experience is the name we give to our mistakes.

It is possibly worth mentioning at this point that Mr. Young thought that paparazzi was a kind of Italian linoleum.

Terry Pratchett

Reality is a projection of your thoughts or the things you habitually think about.

Stephen Richards

This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.

Amelia E. Barr

Beauty, the splendour of truth, is a gracious presence when the imagination contemplates intensely the truth of its own being or the visible world, and the spirit which proceeds out of truth and beauty is the holy spirit of joy. These are realities and these alone give and sustain life.

James Joyce

Laughter is the greatest weapon we have and we, as humans, use it the least.

Mark Twain

More flies are caught with honey than with vinegar.

Proverb

Stupid dreams.Even the good ones are bad because they remind you how porly reality measures up.

Neal Shusterman

Anger itself does more harm than the condition which aroused anger.

David O. McKay

It's an interesting fact that fewer than 17 % of Real cats end their lives with the same name they started with. Much family effort goes into selecting one at the start (She looks like a Winnifred to me), and the as the years roll by it suddenly finds itself being called Meepo or Ratbag.

Terry Pratchett

Every year, I am reminded of the kids who aren't in the freshman class and aren't graduating. I remember every single one of them. That is the worst of times for me, to see the future snuffed out.

Donna Shalala

It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on.

Michael Behe

In my opinion, the sun was made to light worthier toil than this.

Henry David Thoreau
