I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

Norman Wisdom

Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!

Aesop

The bravest thing you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly.

Corra May Harris

The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.

David Lynch

Stuff your eyes with wonder . . . live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.

L.M. Montgomery

The possibilities of creative effort connected with the subconscious mind are stupendous and imponderable. They inspire one with awe.

Napoleon Hill

Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Give me a child for the first seven years, and you may do what you like with him afterwards.

Source Unknown

Bertrand Russell

Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.

G. K. Chesterton

All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
