Samuel Butler

I consider my mom and all my sisters my friends.

Alexa Vega

The bare knowledge of God's will is inefficacious, it doth not better the heart. Knowledge alone is like a winter sun, which hath no heat or influence; it doth not warm the affections, or purify the conscience. Judas was a great luminary, he knew God's will, but he was a traitor.

Thomas Watson

Terry Pratchett

It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Plautus

I love my fed-ex guy cause he's a drug dealer and he doesn't even know it...and he's always on time.
