Success has always been a great liar.

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.

Scott Adams

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.

Mark Twain, speech, November 23,

La lassitude est la fin des actes d'une vie machinale, mais elle inaugure en même temps le mouvement de la conscience. Elle l'éveille et elle provoque la suite. La suite, c'est le retour inconscient dans la chaîne, ou c'est l'éveil définitif. Au bout de l'éveil vient avec le temps, la conséquence: suicide ou rétablissement.

Albert Camus

Shoes make an outfit; they're like rims for a car.

Salman Rushdie

To me, the sea is like a person -- like a child that I've known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I'm out there.

Gertrude Ederle

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.

Francis of Assisi

Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one.

Arianna Stassinopoulos

It is well to read everything of something, and something of everything.

Lord Henry P. Brougham

There is a difference between talented people and gifted people.Talented people are good AT something; Gifted people ARE that something.
