If in other sciences we should arrive at certainty without doubt and truth without error, it behooves us to place the foundations of knowledge in mathematics...

Seek but provision of bread and wine, fools to flatter, and clothing fine; and nothing of God shall ever be thine.

Wes Smith

The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn't have eyeballs or fins.

Dave Barry

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

Henry David Thoreau

Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.

Zig Ziglar

As records of courts and justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.

Ambrose Bierce

Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for -- because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.

Peter Marshall

What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live -- with your self-respect alive and growing.

Maxwell Maltz

I think heterosexuality and homosexuality are a kind of psychosis, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Jeanette Winterson

Nobody was perfect. Not even close. And everybody had wrinkles from smiling and squinting and craining their necks. Everybody has marks on their bodies from years of living- a trail of life left on them. Evidence of all the adventures and sleepless nights and practical jokes and heartbreaks that had made them who they are.

Katherine Center

You know, I've got a plan that could rescue Apple. I can't say any more than that it's the perfect product and the perfect strategy for Apple. But nobody there will listen to me.

Steve Jobs

What they do in heaven we are ignorant of; what they do not do we are told expressly.

Jonathan Swift

Men are not punished for their for sins, but by them.

Kin Hubbard
