Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.

Distance lends enchantment to the view

Mark Twain

Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

Henry Ward Beecher

No law reaches it, but all right-minded people observe it.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.

Buddha

If you don't have public hangings for bad culture in a company, if you don't take people out and let them say, they went home to spend more time with the family. It's crazy.

Jack Welch

No wise combatant underestimates their antagonist.

Johann von Goethe

I don't have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I'm bullish about the Longhorns.

Tom Hicks

The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man's frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search.

Max Lerner

Caution has its place, no doubt, but we cannot refuse our support to a serious venture which challenges the whole of the personality. If we oppose it, we are trying to suppress what is best in man --his daring and his aspirations. And should we succeed, we should only have stood in the way of that invaluable experience which might have given a meaning to life. What would have happened if Paul had allowed himself to be talked out of his journey to Damascus?

Carl Gustav Jung

"Less is more" is said to have been one of the favorite maxims of architect Mies Van der Rohe.

Albert Camus

Fear and realisation of ignorance, strong medicines against stupid pride.

Garth Nix

A ship should not ride on a single anchor, nor life on a single hope.
