Happy people are ignoramuses and glory is nothing else but success, and to achieve it one only has to be cunning.

We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.

Zelda Fitzgerald

If love be not his Guide, He never will come back!

John Gay

Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.

Hannah Arendt

Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.

Stephen King

Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.

Eliel Saarinen, "Time", July 2,

I want you forever, not just for tonight.

Sylvain Reynard

We were wise indeed, could we discern truly the signs of our own time; and by knowledge of its wants and advantages, wisely adjust our own position in it. Let us, instead of gazing idly into the obscure distance, look calmly around us, for a little, on the perplexed scene where we stand. Perhaps, on a more serious inspection, something of its perplexity will disappear, some of its distinctive characters and deeper tendencies more clearly reveal themselves; whereby our own relations to it, our own true aims and endeavors in it, may also become clearer.

Thomas Carlyle

It is the tendency of the study of science to make us patient, humble and attentive to the smallest things. Is not this part of religion?

John Lancaster Spalding

One ought to be ashamed to make use of the wonders of science embodied in a radio set, the while appreciating them as little as a cow appreciates the botanic marvels in the plants she munches.

Albert Einstein

The miserable have no other medicine but only hope.

William Shakespeare

Viata nu inseamna a avea,ci a fi.

Nick Vujicic

Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

William Allingham
