I sometimes think that shame, mere awkward, senseless shame, does as much towards preventing good acts and straightforward happiness as any of our vices can do.

Who so regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind. Ecclesiasticus 34:2

Bible

Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75.

Benjamin Franklin

Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog.

Doug Larson

The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed. Except in the sacred tests of democracy and in the incantations of the orators, we hardly take the trouble to pretend that the rule of the majority is not at bottom a rule of force.

Walter Lippmann

No man can serve two masters. Matthew 6:24

Bible

I know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.

Busy Philipps

Men marry to make an end; women to make a beginning.

Alexis Dupuy

I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.

Edvard Munch

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.

Roger Caras

We see societies establishing themselves, nations forming themselves, which in turn dominate over other nations or become subject to them. Empires rise and fall; laws, forms of government, one succeeding another; the arts, the sciences, are discovered and are cultivated; sometimes retarded and sometimes accelerated in their progress, they pass from one region to another. Self-interest, ambition, vainglory, perpetually change the scene of the world, inundate the earth with blood. Yet in the midst of their ravages manners are gradually softened, the human mind takes enlightenment, separate nations draw nearer to each other, commerce and policy connect at last all parts of the globe, and the total mass of the human race, by the alternations of calm and agitation, of good conditions and of bad, marches always, although slowly, towards still higher perfection...

Jacques Turgot

If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying.

Dale Carnegie

Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods, and of every good to man.

Plato
