Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.

I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing, an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature, both animals and plants, the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself, you don't have to think about it.

Laughter is involuntary. If it's funny you laugh.

Tom Lehrer

Be civil to all sociable to many familiar with few friend to one enemy to none.

Benjamin Franklin

So she thoroughly taught him that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other, without being conquered or having conquered, so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.

Hermann Hesse

Our ideals, like pictures, are made from lights and shadows.

Joseph Joubert

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world. Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

Allan K. Chalmers

My wife has cut me down to once a month, I'm lucky I know two guys she cut off completely

Rodney Dangerfield

You can fool too many of the people too much of the time.

James Thurber
