A pun is the lowest form of humor, unless you thought of it yourself.

the greatest service we can do to education today is to teach fewer subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects, we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.

C.S. Lewis

Opportunity's favorite disguise is trouble.

Frank Tyger

As a main ingredient to the show, it has to have truth, represent truth, or else it won't last.

Adolph Green

I spent some time at White Memorial Medical Center as a senior medical student doing a rotation in surgery however, I felt I wasn't getting enough time assisting.

Samuel Wilson

I tell my students, it's not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What's more difficult is to identify with someone you don't see, who's very far away, who's a different color, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders.

Chinua Achebe

The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.

Voltaire

Artistic qualities that once seemed undeniable don't seem so now. Sometimes these fluctuations are only fickleness of taste, momentary glitches in an artist's work, or an artist getting ahead of his audience (it took me ten years to catch up to Albert Oehlen). Other times, however, these problems mean there's something wrong with the art.

Jerry Saltz

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.

Lucille Ball

A hasty judgment is a first step to recantation.

Publilius Syrus

Opposition may become sweet to a man when he has christened it persecution.

George Eliot

The essential fact which emerges ... is that the three smallest and most active reservoirs ( of carbon in the global carbon cycle), the atmosphere, the plants and the soil, are all of roughly the same size. This means that large human disturbance of any one of these reservoirs will have large effects on all three. We cannot hope either to understand or to manage the carbon in the atmosphere unless we understand and manage the trees and the soil too.

Freeman John Dyson

Life must be lived as play.

Plato
