Unfenced by law, the unmarried lover can quit a bad relationship at any time.

The process of learning requires not only hearing and applying but also forgetting and then remembering again.

John Gray

labor not after riches first, and think thou afterwards wilt enjoy them. He who neglecteth the present moment, throweth away all that he hath. As the arrow passeth through the heart, while the warrior knew not that it was

Akhenaton

We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition.

Thomas Carlyle

Paul Prudhomme

Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.

Matthew Lillard

Every mother generally hopes that her daughter will snag a better husband than she managed to do... but she's certain that her boy will never get as great a wife as his father did.

'Every man has his price. This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice - and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow. To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds of souls have others.

Friedrich Nietzsche

How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?

Plato

There are many good moccasin tracks along the trail of a straight arrow.

American Indian Proverb, Sioux

Tears such as angels weep.

John Milton

When the severity of the law is to be softened, let pity, not bribes, be the motive.

Miguel de Cervantes

I think there's a difference between ditzy and dumb. Dumb is just not knowing. Ditzy is having the courage to ask!
