People seldom improve when they have no other model, but themselves to copy after.

Other exercises develop single powers and muscles, but dancing embellishes, exercises, and equalizes all the muscles at once.

Jean Paul

There's small choice in rotten apples.

William Shakespeare

I think He made one law of that kind in order that there might be obedience. In all these other matters what you call obeying Him is but doing what seems good in your own eyes also. Is love content with that?

C.S. Lewis

The court is like a palace of marble; it's composed of people very hard and very polished.

Jean de la Bruyere

Each home has been reduced to the bare essentials -- to barer essentials than most primitive people would consider possible. Only one woman's hands to feed the baby, answer the telephone, turn off the gas under the pot that is boiling over, soothe the older child who has broken a toy, and open both doors at once. She is a nutritionist, a child psychologist, an engineer, a production manager, an expert buyer, all in one. Her husband sees her as free to plan her own time, and envies her; she sees him as having regular hours and envies him.

Margaret Mead

Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.

George Bernard Shaw

I believe that it's better to be looked over than it is to be overlooked.

Mae West

Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.

A. J. Liebling

Though money cannot acquire you happiness, it does not mean that both money and happiness cannot exist together.

Stephen Richards

Perfection is an imaginary state of quality distinguished from the actual by an element known as excellence; an attribute of the critic.

Ambrose Bierce

Keep a positive mind. Remember, a failed attempt doesn't make you a failure—giving up does.

Lorii Myers

The bosses of our mass media, press, radio, film and television, succeed in their aim of taking our minds off disaster. Thus, the distraction they offer demands the antidote of maximum concentration on disaster.
