Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best for that we must have recourse to art.

Baltasar Gracian

A person's worth in this world is estimated according to the value they put on themselves.

Friedrich Nietzsche

In the city a funeral is just an interruption of traffic; in the country it is a form of popular entertainment.

George Ade

One third, more or less, of all the sorrow that the person I think I am must endure is unavoidable. It is the sorrow inherent in the human condition, the price we must pay for being sentient and self-conscious organisms, aspirants to liberation, but subject to the laws of nature and under orders to keep on marching, through irreversible time, through a world wholly indifferent to our well-being, toward decrepitude and the certainty of death. The remaining two thirds of all sorrow is homemade and, so far as the universe is concerned, unnecessary.

Aldous Huxley

Christianity is the root of all democracy, the highest fact in the rights of men.

Novalis

I have a map of the United States...actual size. It says, Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile. I spent last summer folding it. I also have a fullsize map of the world. I hardly ever unroll it.

Steven Wright

We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation.

George Bernard Shaw

When the white man turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys

George Orwell

Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
