Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood.

When my dad needed a shirt ironed, he would yell downstairs to my mother, who would drop everything and iron his shirt.

Hope Davis

This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.

Aristotle, (attributed)

You can always tell the heart of man by what he do, and by what he don't do...

Steven J. Carroll

Men are to be guided only by their self-interests. Good government is a good balancing of these; and, except a keen eye and appetite for self-interest, requires no virtue in any quarter. To both parties it is emphatically a machine: to the discontented, a taxing-machine; to the contented, a machine for securing property. Its duties and its faults are not those of a father, but of an active parish-constable.

Thomas Carlyle

Make sure the thing you're living for is worth dying for.

Charles Mayes

Apologize: To lay the foundation for a future offence.

Ambrose Bierce

What is forgiven is usually well remembered.

Louis Dudek

When something poses as obstacle to you,surmount it and use it as a miracle to move on to greater height.

Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

William James

To me, the blues is an infection. I don't think it's necessarily a melancholy thing the blues can be really positive and I think I think anyone and everyone can have a place for the blues. It need not always a woeful, sorrowful thing. It's more reflective it reminds you to feel.

Mick Fleetwood

Humor can help you cope with the unbearable so that you can stay on the bright side of things until the bright side actually comes along.

Allen Klein

Expectation is the mother of all frustration.

Antonio Banderas
