Reason clears and plants the wilderness of the imagination to harvest the wheat of art.

Austin O'Malley

Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.

Plutarch

Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.

Noel Coward

Do not love leisure. Waste not a minute. Be bold. Realize the Truth, here and now!

Swami Sivananda

There is not grief that does not speak.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

John Kenneth Galbraith

At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.

Benjamin Franklin

Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.

Mark Twain

Once you touch the trappings of monarchy, like opening an Egyptian tomb, the inside is liable to crumble.

Anthony Sampson
