The foolishness of old age does not characterize all who are old, but only the foolish.

Don't set your wit against a child.

Jonathan Swift

Loads of chemicals and hazardous wastes have been introduced into the atmosphere that didn't even exist in 1948. The environmental condition of the planet is far worse than it was 42 years ago.

Gaylord Nelson

She was so ugly that if you grab a dictionary and look under the word ugly you would see her picture.

Rodney Dangerfield

But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them.

Jane Austen

Sri Chinmoy

She was beautiful, with a beauty so severe and so solitary that at first it was startling. Ah! If only there were two of me, she thought, one doing the talking and one listening, one living and one watching, how I would love myself. I'd envy no one.

Simone de Beauvoir

This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: First, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and, after doing so, to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community --the man of wealth thus becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves.

Andrew Carnegie

Anthony Trollope

I want everybody to be scared to death of us. I don't say that in a bellicose way. I say that in a way that is peaceful, frankly.

Colin Powell

'Vegas' was something very close to me. I had such a blast doing that. I'm still a little upset that we never really got to shoot that final episode. So many people were invested in it. I'll always be sad about that.

Josh Duhamel

My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.

Venus Williams

There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice.

Joseph Addison
