The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.

Those people speak most who do not have much to say.

Leo Tolstoy

I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.

H. L. Mencken

Katherine stared intently at the cold, hard steel. She knew it would be loaded and that, if need be, there was extra ammunition in the back of the drawer. She would not be one of those girls, the ones who sit idly by and wait for the answers to come to them.

Gwenn Wright

It is not true that democracy will always safeguard freedom of conscience better than autocracy. Witness the most famous of all trials. Pilate was, from the standpoint of the Jews, certainly the representative of autocracy. Yet he tried to protect freedom. And he yielded to a democracy.

Joseph Schumpeter

Life is short, the art long.

Hippocrates

Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.

Samuel Butler

Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.

Martin Sheen

También en su mundo distante, más distante que la propia luna, la música era capaz de penetrar y hacer milagros.

Paulo Coelho

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.

Samuel Smiles

It is sad and wrong to be so dependent for the life of my life on any human being as I am on you; but I cannot by any force of logic cure myself at this date, when it has become second nature.

Jane Welsh Carlyle

Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly

Bertrand Russell

By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
