A lowly virtue whereby mediocrity achieves a glorious success.

No literature is complete until the language it was written in is dead.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To banish cares, scare away sorrow and soothe pain is the business of the poet and singer.

Bodenstedt

The best introduction by far to representation of the human figure in art. The Nude is a beautifully written work of sophisticated connoisseurship that analyzes art in its own terms rather than imposing strident, politicized categories on it. It outlines the major body types, male and female, in Western art and, via a wealth of illustrations, trains the reader's eye to detect and evaluate proportion. This book reveres art

Camille Anna Paglia, From an art

Capital is that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining further wealth.

Alfred Marshall

We fail to see that we can control our own destiny; make ourselves do whatever is possible; make ourselves become whatever we long to be.

Orison Swett Marden

It is better that a man should tyrannize over his bank balance than over his fellow-citizens and whilst the former is sometimes denounced as being but a means to the latter, sometimes at least it is an alternative.

John Maynard Keynes

It appears I am destined for something; I will live.

Robert Clive

Whoever thinks of going to bed before twelve o'clock is a scoundrel.

Samuel Johnson

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; The wise grows it under his feet.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

Oh love and hate are two sides of the same blade

Jacqueline Carey

Happiness does not come from football awards. It's terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don't dream football, I dream the American dream - two cars in a garage, be a happy father.

Barry Sanders

I've seen women who don't have great relationships with their dads, and it all comes down to this: You have to tell girls you love them every day.
