Albert Camus

What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.

Sappho

I should think this a gull, but that the white-bearded fellow speaks it; knavery cannot, sure, hide himself in such reverence.

William Shakespeare

The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.

Otto von Bismarck

The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes.

Poul Anderson

Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow. Delay may give clearer light as to what is best to be done.

Aaron Burr

Dont think money does everything or you are going to end up doing everything for money.

Voltaire
