Man, proud man, drest in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he's most assur d, glassy essence, like an angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven, as make the angels weep.

What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.

Hal Boyle

Emotions are your worst enemy in the stock market.

Don Hays

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.

George Eliot

The fate of this man or that man was less than a drop, although it was a sparkling one, in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea.

T.H. White

When the first computers started to come in, we tried to digitalize the seismological equipment.

Frank Press

Life is like music it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.

Samuel Butler

There are some remedies worse than the disease.

Publilius Syrus

There is so much more than that little space from 14 to 40. And if you cut that off and begin to believe that you are not good past a certain age, then you end up scared and insecure and afraid. That is definitely NOT beautiful.

Rene Russo

One's destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.

Henry Miller

I thought the work would be very innocent, and one which might be confided to the reason of any man; not likely to be much read if let alone, but, if persecuted, it will be generally read. Every man in the United States will think it a duty to buy a copy, in vindication of his right to buy, and to read what he pleases.

Thomas Jefferson

The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.

Jackie Kennedy
