How poor are they that have not patience. What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

In our sad condition our only consolation is the expectancy of another life. Here below all is incomprehensible.

Martin Luther

A half-truth is a whole lie

Yiddish Proverb

Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.

William Osler

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

Albert Einstein

Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.

Isaac Asimov

I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.

Oscar Wilde

Well, I am reading more and enjoying it lesslaughterand so on, but I have not complained nor do I plan to make any general complaints. I read and talk to myself about it, but I dont plan to issue any general statement on the press. I think that they are doing their task, as a critical branch, the fourth estate. And I am attempting to do mine. And we are going to live together for a period, and then go our separate ways. Laughter.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

The wit knows that his place is at the tail of a procession.

Mark Twain

Your body hears everything your mind says.

Naomi Judd

Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that's what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it.

Edsger Dijkstra

Remember that Children and Fools want every thing because they want Wit to distinguish: and therefore there is no stronger Evidence of a Crazy Understanding, than the making too large a Catalogue of things necessary, when in truth there are so very few things that have a right to be placed in it.

George Savile

You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.

Louisa May Alcott
