Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway, and fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray.

Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.

Aldous Huxley

You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy.

James Hillman

Strange, that some of us, with quick alternate vision, see beyond our infatuations, and even while we rave on the heights, behold the wide plain where our persistent self pauses and awaits us.

George Eliot

In the world of human thought generally, and in physical science particularly, the most important and fruitful concepts are those to which it is impossible to attach a well defined meaning.

H. A. Kramers

I am above being injured by fortune, though she steals away much, more will remain with me. The blessing I now enjoy transcend fear.

Ovid

Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

C.S. Lewis

Beer, it's the best damn drink in the world.

Jack Nicholson

For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.

Wolfgang Puck

All you need to do is hold on tight...and believe.

Stephen King

Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more.

Albert Einstein

Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it

George Orwell

Children must be considered in a divorce considered valuable pawns in the nasty legal and financial contest that is about to ensue.

P. J. O'Rourke
