The secret of popular writing is never to put more on a given page than the common reader can lap off it with no strain whatsoever on his habitually slack attention.

Ezra Pound

Men who content themselves with the semblance of truth, and a display of words, talk much of our obligations to Great Britain for protection. Had she a single eye to our advantage? A nation of shopkeepers are very seldom so disinterested.

Samuel Adams

I'm learning as much martial arts as I possibly can. My show is packed with action. Enough to get a rise.

Norman Mailer

Our favorite holding period is forever.

Warren Buffett

Carl Jung

It´s natural to want someone you love to do what you want, or what you think would be good for them, but you have to let everything happen to them.

And that's hard, ..., because you often feel like interfering -you want to be the one who makes the plans.

John Irving

Good madonna, give me leave toprove you a fool.

William Shakespeare

The sooner we learn feelings are fickle, the better off we are.

Joyce Meyer

Idealist: a cynic in the making.

Irving Layton

Paul Harris
