I joke around a lot about the manic times because they're funny. We manics do outrageous things and it is part of our colorful nature.

The way to fame goes thorough the palaces, the way to happiness does through the markets, the way to virtue goes through the deserts.

Leo Tolstoy

A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.

William Shenstone

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

Douglas MacArthur

People will teach you how to sell them if you'll pay attention to the messages they send you.

Time waits for no one. There is only one time for happiness and the time is NOW!

Steve Maraboli

I've never had a very closely connected family. My parents split up when I was young and I was living with my mom for a little while, then I was kind of just on my own really young. It wasn't some kind of global tragedy, it was just never really a very close-knit family. So there was support in the sense that they didn't stand in my way.

When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.

J. P. Donleavy

It is well for the heart to be naive and the mind not to be.

Anatole France

Love accepts a human being as she is. Love creates the freedom for a human being to be who she is. Love creates the relaxation, which helps a person to relax into her own inner being, into her own authentic self. Love allows us to appreciate the beautiful being we already are.

Swami Dhyan Giten

So sure, start with a slogan. But don't bother wasting any time on it if you're merely going for catchy. Aim for true instead.

Seth Godin

OBSESSED, p.p. Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.

Ambrose Bierce

They ought to find out how to vaccinate for love, like smallpox.

Leo Tolstoy
