....hurts not just the heart, but every part.

So even though I consider myself a fairly upbeat person, energetic and things like that, I never do very well on happiness tests.

Barbara Ehrenreich

Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.

William Cowper

People always used to say to me, 'Don't you want your own show? That'd be so cool if you had your own show.' I said, 'You know, it's not gonna happen. So - no.'

Candy Crowley

Intolerance respecting other people's religion is toleration itself in comparison with intolerance respecting other people's art.

Wallace Stevens

Lord Tyrawley and I have been dead these two years, but we don't choose to have it known.

Lord Chesterfield

We Greeks believe that a man who takes no part in public affairs is not merely lazy, but good for nothing

Thucydides

Before every action ask yourself. Will this bring more monkeys on my back. Will the result of my action be a blessing or a heavy burden?

Alfred A. Montapert

You can't run a business or anything else on a theory.

Harold S. Geneen

Dread not infanticide; the crime is imaginary: we are always mistress of what we carry in our womb, and we do no more harm in destroying this kind of matter than in evacuating another, by medicines, when we feel the need.

Marquis de Sade

What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing. You may take any number of wrong turnings; but keep your eyes open and you will not be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear. You may have deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you. The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it.

C.S. Lewis

Mankind's common instinct for reality has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life's supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man's frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.

William James

I miss my family, and I like being a tourist when I go back.
