Suddenly a single shot on the extreme left rang out on the clear morning air, followed quickly by several others, and the whole line pushed rapidly forward through the brush.

Dreaming of a tomorrow, which tomorrow, will be as distant then as 'tis today.

Lope de Vega

The secret of long life is double careers. One to about age sixty, then another for the next thirty years.

David Ogilvy

Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind.

Samuel Johnson

Some of you, we all know, are poor, find it hard to live, are sometimes, as it were, gasping for breath. I have no doubt that some of you who read this book are unable to pay for all the dinners which you have actually eaten, or for the coats and shoes which are fast wearing or are already worn out, and have come to this page to spend borrowed or stolen time, robbing your creditors of an hour. It is very evident what mean and sneaking lives many of you live, for my sight has been whetted by experience; always on the limits, trying to get into business and trying to get out of debt, a very ancient slough, called by the Latins aes alienum, another's brass, for some of their coins were made of brass; still living, and dying, and buried by this other's brass; always promising to pay, promising to pay, tomorrow, and dying today, insolvent; seeking to curry favor, to get custom, by how many modes, only not state-prison offences; lying, flattering, voting, contracting yourselves into a nutshell of civility or dilating into an atmosphere of thin and vaporous generosity, that you may persuade your neighbor to let you make his shoes, or his hat, or his coat, or his carriage, or import his groceries for him; making yourselves sick, that you may lay up something against a sick day, something to be tucked away in an old chest, or in a stocking behind the plastering, or, more safely, in the brick bank; no matter where, no matter how much or how little.

Henry David Thoreau

The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.

Caryl Haskins

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Albert Einstein

The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.

Jean Cocteau

Strong relationships come from well-bonded friendships.

Jonathan Anthony Burkett

There is a war against the individual.

James Dye

You go to Holland, France, Germany, every community, the tiniest village, they have magnificent, pristine sports facilities.

Graham Taylor

No emancipation without that of society.

Theodor Adorno

Society is now one polished horde, formed of two mighty tries, the Bores and Bored.

Lord Byron
