Solitude is the despair of fools, the torment of the wicked, and the joy of the good.

The bad boy: always more fun.

Ian McShane

There are questions I'm still not wise enough to answer, just wise enough to no longer ask.

George Jones

Cats always seem so very wise, when staring with their half-closed eyes. Can they be thinking, I'll be nice, and maybe she will feed me twice?

Bette Midler

As for pictures and museums, that don't trouble me. The worst of going abroad is that you've always got to look at things of that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.

Margaret Oliphant

I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.

Marcel Duchamp

I do like to shock and surprise people. When it's all in good fun, of course.

Ruth Warrick

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

Giordano Bruno

Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.

Scott Adams

Humans have the ability to shift perspective. We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that. We can shift perceptual positions many times over.

John J. Emerick

It has been my experience that a bi-product of order is preparedness. And if chance favors the prepared mind, then I am ready!

Steve Maraboli

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.

William Butler Yeats

To have a great man for a friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.

Horace
