My idea of a perfect pet is a really, really big dog! Huge!

The love of evil is the root of all money.

Proverb

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

Joseph Conrad

The active part of man consists of powerful instincts, some of which are gentle and continuous; others violent and short; some baser, some nobler, and all necessary.

Francis W. Newman

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A little skill in antiquity inclines a man to Popery.

Thomas Fuller

Most people have learned to live in the moment. The argument goes that if the past has uncertain effect on the present, there is no need to dwell on the past. And if the present has little effect on the future, present actions need not be weighed for their consequence. Rather, each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own. Families comfort a dying uncle not because of a likely inheritance, but because he is loved at that moment. Employees are hired not because of their resumes, but because of their good sense in interviews. Clerks trampled by their bosses fight back at each insult, with no fear for their future. It is a world of impulse. It is a world of sincerity. It is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning.

Alan Lightman, Einstein

I hump the wild to take it all in, there is no bag limit on happiness.

Ted Nugent

Nature's law affirm instead of prohibit. If you violate her laws, you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.

Luther Burbank

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

C.S. Lewis

What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt

Kahlil Gibran

I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

Abraham Lincoln

The note of the perfect personality is not rebellion, but peace.

Oscar Wilde
