We swallow with one gulp the lie that flatters us, and drink drop by drop the truth which is bitter to us.

Humor can be an incredible lacerating and effective weapon. And that is the way I use it.

Carl Hiaasen

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Hell is paved with good intentions.

Samuel Johnson

Salma Hayek

If the years have taught me one thing it's that those who care are always scarce. Those who genuinely care; not the acquaintances, false friends or those with similar aspirations. The few who seek your company, the souls who would plainly step off the world for you. Once you resolve to ignore them, only regret will follow.

Darrell Drake

In the spiritual world there are no time divisions such as the past, present and future; for they have contracted themselves into a single moment of the present where life quivers in its true sense. The past and the future are both rolled up in this present moment of illumination, and this present moment is not something standing still with all its contents, for it ceaselessly moves on.

Daisetz T. Suzuki

If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you're dead and rotten, either do things worth the writing, or write things worth the reading!

Benjamin Franklin

Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Will Rogers
