Satire is often the reflection of a kind of moral nausea.

All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

Philosophy is the science which considers truth.

Aristotle

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence

Aristotle

I never loved another person the way I loved myself.

Mae West

I don't think children's inner feelings have changed. They still want a mother and father in the very same house they want places to play.

Beverly Cleary

Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident.

Mark Twain

There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom.

Friedrich Nietzsche

We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity.

Marie Curie, Lecture at Vassar C

Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when called upon to act according with the dictates of reason.

Oscar Wilde

Want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hardships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause elsewhere than in want of money, for that is the miser's passion, not the thief's.

William Blake

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

Francis Bacon

Remember, young man, experience is not the best teacher. Other people's experience is the best teacher. By reading about the lives of great people, you can unlock the secrets to what made them great.
