Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.

I tell you one thing -- if you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather learn to see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.

Sri Sarada Devi

I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it.

Lyndon B. Johnson

There is not a grain of dust, not an atom that can become nothing, yet man believes that death is the annhilation of his being.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Think of these things, whence you came, where you are going, and to whom you must account.

Benjamin Franklin

Can't stand all these poisonous creatures, all these snakes and insects and fish and things. Wretched things, biting everybody. And then people expect me to tell them what to do about it. I'll tell them what to do. Don't get bitten in the first place. (quoting Dr. Struan Sutherland)

Douglas Adams

If we lose all of our wealth and are only left with love then, indeed, we shall never be poor.

Stephen Richards

It is not my wish to lounge about the college and fatten on a fellowship all my days. I am always trying to look upon a college life as a medium not an end.

Thomas Edward Brown

You have to keep hobbies in L.A. Otherwise, it's sad.

Lake Bell

The most important things in life aren't things.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

Desire to know why, and how -- curiosity, which is a lust of the mind, that a perseverance of delight in the continued and indefatigable generation of knowledge -- exceedeth the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.

Thomas Hobbes

The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I love chicken. I would eat chicken fingers on Thanksgiving if it were socially acceptable.
