Please, dear God of happiness, show the radiance of your spectrum to our world, which here means to forget everything.

I see men ordinarily more eager to discover a reason for things than to find out whether the things are so.

Michel de Montaigne

Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.

William Shakespeare

Throughout my whole life, as a performer, I've never played with a band. I've always played alone, so I was never required to stay in rhythm or anything. So it was a real different experience for me to start playing with a band. There were so many basic things for me to learn.

Steve Martin

We are chained to this life by a chain of gold, and we dare not sever it for fear of what lies beyond the drop.

Cassandra Clare

...it is well know that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done.

Terry Pratchett

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. I would not interfere with any one's religion, either to strengthen it or to weaken it. I am not able to believe one's religion can affect his hereafter one way or the other, no matter what that religion may be. But it may easily be a great comfort to him in this life--hence it is a valuable possession to him.

Mark Twain

If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf.

Nikita Khrushchev

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--Success in Cirrcuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightening to the Children easedWith explanation kindThe Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind--

Emily Dickinson

No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Rattle his bonesover the stonesits only a pauperwho nobody owns

Neil Gaiman

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Dale Carnegie

To swear off making mistakes is very easy. All you have to do is to swear off having ideas.

Leo Burnett
