Rule: Never perform card tricks for the people you play poker with.

My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.

John Green

What is so great as friendship, let us carry with what grandeur of spirit we can. Let us be silent, -- so we may hear the whisper of the gods. Let us not interfere. Who set you to cast about what you should say to the select souls, or how to say any thing to such? No matter how ingenious, no matter how graceful and bland. There are innumerable degrees of folly and wisdom, and for you to say aught is to be frivolous. Wait, and thy heart shall speak. Wait until the necessary and everlasting overpowers you, until day and night avail themselves of your lips. The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one.http://www.rwe.org/comm/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=129&Itemid=161

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays Frie

Around '93, '94, the conventional wisdom about the Internet was that it was a toy for academics and researchers. So it was very, very underestimated for about two years.

Marc Andreessen

Listen or thy tongue will keep thee deaf.

American Indian Proverb

The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way you can make a man trustworthy is to trust him and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him.

Henry L. Stimson

The best portion of a good man's life is in his little nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

William Wordsworth

A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.

e. e. (Edward Estlin) cummings

And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Kahlil Gibran

I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

He who spares the bad injures the good.

Publilius Syrus

Absence - that common cure of love.

Lord Byron

I look away at car crashes, and I know people who look away at car crashes, because it makes us uncomfortable to watch other people in pain.

John Mayer
