Maureen O'Hara

No one likes having offended another person; hence everyone feels so much better if the other person doesn't show he's been offended. Nobody likes being confronted by a wounded spaniel. Remember that. It is much easier patiently -- and tolerantly -- to avoid the person you have injured than to approach him as a friend. You need courage for that.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Florence Griffith Joyner

Everything want to be loved. Us sing and dance and holler, just trying to be loved.

Alice Walker

You ask particularly after my health. I suppose that I have not many months to live; but, of course, I know nothing about it. I may add that I am enjoying existence as much as ever, and regret nothing.

Henry David Thoreau

Great endowments often announce themselves in youth in the form of singularity and awkwardness.

Johann von Goethe

I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.

Dean Koontz

Anna Quindlen

Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education.

William Godwin

A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself.

Walter Bagehot

You are thought here to be the most senseless and fit man for the constable of the watch, therefore bear you the lantern.

William Shakespeare
