The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose.

Garrison Keillor

Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.

Aristotle

Barbara Ehrenreich

Edmund Waller

There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other.

Michael Crichton

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

English Proverb

Debi Thomas

Man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid of.

George Bernard Shaw

Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it.

Lao Tzu

She understood him. He could not forgive her,-but he could not be unfeeling. Though condemning her for the past, and considering it with high and unjest resentment, though perfectly careless of her, and though becoming attached to another, still he could not see her suffer, without the desire of giving her relief. It was a remainder of former sentiment; it was an impuse of pure, though unacknowledged friendship; it was a proof of his own warm and amiable heart, which she could not contemplate without emotions so compounded of pleasure and pain, that she knew not which prevailed.

Jane Austen

Never make a defense or apology before you be accused.

King Charles I
