That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep.

Aldous Huxley

Nature admits no lie.

Thomas Carlyle

Soren Kierkegaard

Jean Rhys

Thou shalt not commit adultry is a command which makes no distinction between the following persons. They are all required to obey it: children at birth. Children in the cradle. School children. Youths and maidens. Fresh adults. Older ones. Men and women of 40. Of 50. Of 60. Of 70. Of 80. Of 100. The command does not distribute its burden equally, and cannot. It is not hard upon the three sets of children.

Mark Twain

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Jesse Jackson

John Corwin

A lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success.

Steve Maraboli

Nothing's a better cure for writer's block than to eat ice cream right out of the carton.

Don Roff

The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.
