Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.

Victor Hugo

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

Oscar Wilde

True religion is real living living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.

Albert Einstein

Clearly, once the student is no longer a student the possibilities of relationship are enlarged.

Marilyn Hacker

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

Thomas Jefferson

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Stephen King

None think the great unhappy, but the great.

Edward Young

Vengeance taken will often tear the heart and torment the conscience.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Excessive reservations and paralyzing despondency have not helped the sciences to advance nor are they helping them to advance, but a healthy optimism that cheerfully searches for new ways to understand, as it is convinced that it will be possible to find them.

Alois Alzheimer, Alzheimer

He that lacks the time to mourn, lacks time to mend.

Source Unknown

Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

Nikola Tesla

I've been quite a late developer on the clothes front, but I've suddenly realised it is one of life's joys.

Benedict Cumberbatch
