Optimism doesn't wait on facts. It deals with prospects. Pessimism is a waste of time.

Death isn't on line. If he was, there would be a sudden drop in the death rate. Although it'd be interesting to see if he'd post things like: DON'T YOU THINK I SOUND LIKE JAMES EARL JONES?

Terry Pratchett

People only tell lies when the truth is disagreeable to them, or frightens them, or to cover sin.

Anne Perry

It is easy enough to say that poverty is no crime. No; if it were men wouldn't be ashamed of it. It is a blunder, though, and is punished as such. A poor man is despised the whole world over.

Jerome K. Jerome

My heart is warm with the friends I make,And better friends I'll not be knowing,Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,No matter where it's going.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

The memory has as many moods as the temper, and shifts its scenery like a diorama.

George Eliot

Love is the greatest refreshment in life.

Pablo Picasso

God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country!

Benjamin Franklin

To accept civilization as it is practically means accepting decay.

George Orwell

Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

Mark Twain

To be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand.

William Shakespeare

I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers.

Georg Cantor

Beauty is all about us, but how many are blind! They look at the wonder of this earth and seem to see nothing. People move hectically but give little thought to where they are going. They seek excitement...as if they were lost and desperate.
