Never explain. Your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe it anyway.

Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice.

Thomas Malthus

So-called professional mathematicians have, in their reliance on the relative incapacity of the rest of mankind, acquired for themselves a reputation for profundity very similar to the reputation for sanctity possessed by theologians.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Oh, oh, you will be sorry for that word! Give back my book and take my kiss instead.Was it my enemy or my friend I heard,What a big book for such a little head!Come, I will show you now my newest hat,And you may watch me purse my mouth and prink!Oh, I shall love you still, and all of that.I never again shall tell you what I think.I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly;You will not catch me reading any more:I shall be called a wife to pattern by;And some day when you knock and push the door,Some sane day, not too bright and not too stormy,I shall be gone, and you may whistle for me.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

Psychoanalysis is an attempt to examine a person's self-justifications. Hence it can be undertaken only with the patient's cooperation and can succeed only when the patient has something to gain by abandoning or modifying his system of self-justification.

Thomas Szasz

No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I enjoy learning about different periods and people, and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are, certain things unite everybody.

Laura Linney

Men are superior to women, for one thing they can urinate from a speeding car.

Will Durst

The art of creation lies in the gift of perceiving the particular and generalizing it, thus creating the particular again. It is therefore a powerful transforming force and a generator of creative solutions in relation to a given problem. It is the currency of human exchanges, which enables the sharing of states of the soul and conscience, and the discovery of new fields of experience.

Yehudi Menuhin

Under capitalism, man exploits man; while under socialism just the reverse is true.

John Kenneth Galbraith

The attainment of the economic aims of man presupposes peace.

Ludwig von Mises

There's nothing wrong with having nothing to say -- unless you insist on saying it.
