I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I'd invented it, because it is very true.

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Plutarch

There is a contest old as Eden, which still goes on - the conflict between right and wrong, between error and truth. In this conflict every human being has a part.

Matthew Simpson

Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than to polish.

Anne Dudley Bradstreet

My doctor asked me if I smoked, and I said only when I'm working, golfing, or drinking. Then I realized the only time I don't smoke is when I'm home. I didn't even realize I'd become a smoker.

Dennis Franz

The wise man, knowing how to enjoy achieved results without having constantly to replace them with others, finds in them an attachment to life in the hour of difficulty. But the man who has always pinned all his hopes on the future and lived with his eyes fixed upon it, has nothing in the past as a comfort against the present's afflictions, for the past was nothing to him but a series of hastily experienced stages. What blinded him to himself was his expectation always to find further on the happiness he had so far missed. Now he is stopped in his tracks; from now on nothing remains behind or ahead of him to fix his gaze upon.

Emile Durkheim

The ugly and stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live-- undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. They never bring ruin upon others, nor ever receive it from alien hands. Your rank and wealth, Henry; my brains, such as they are-- my art, whatever it may be worth; Dorian Gray's good looks-- we shall all suffer for what the gods have given us, suffer terribly.

Oscar Wilde

The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Quand je n'ai pas de bleu, je mets du rouge.

Picasso

When my dad divorced my mom it was kind of like him leaving me also.

Nicole Richie

Why should he watch the hideous corruption of his soul?

Oscar Wilde

Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
