I think it will be found that experience, the true source and foundation of all knowledge, invariably confirms its truth.

The sense of obligation to continue is present in all of us. A duty to strive is the duty of us all. I felt a call to that duty.

Abraham Lincoln

En helaas hebben huwelijken in het algemeen iets lomps. Ze bederven de tederste verhoudingen, en dat komt toch eigenlijk alleen door de botte zekerheid waarvan ten minste één partij profiteert. Alles is vanzelfsprekend en men lijkt de verbintenis alleen gesloten te hebben opdat beiden hun eigen gang kunnen gaan.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I ran into Isosceles. He had a great idea for a new triangle!

Woody Allen

Never ask the Gods for life set free from grief, but ask for courage that endureth long.

Menander

For in the end it is Middle-Earth and its dwellers that we love, not Tolkien's considerable gifts in showing it to us. I said once that the world he charts was there long before him, and I still believe it. He is a great enough magician to tap our most common nightmares, daydreams and twilight fancies, but he never invented them either: he found them a place to live, a green alternative to each day's madness here in a poisoned world. We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams.

Peter S. Beagle, from the Forewo

If money is all that a man makes, then he will be poor. Poor in happiness and poor in all that makes life worth living.

Herbert N. Casson

I went to a gay bar, they wanted proof of sex so I showed them, they said it wasn't enough.

Rodney Dangerfield

How would your life be different ifYou pretended those around you were deaf to your words? Let today be the dayYou let your actions speak and communicate your feelings and intentions.

Steve Maraboli

I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

I don't like to leave anything unfinished on my desk before I travel.

Vijay Mallya

The fear you feel is a direct reflection of the perception you have of yourself.

Steve Maraboli

A lover, when he is admitted to cards, ought to be solemnly silent, and observe the motions of his mistress. He must laugh when she laughs, sigh when she sighs. In short, he should be the shadow of her mind. A lady, in the presence of her lover, should never want a looking-glass; as a beau, in the presence of his looking-glass, never wants a mistress.

Henry Fielding
