Variety is the condition of harmony.

The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Your notions of friendship are new to me; I believe every man is born with his quantum, and he cannot give to one without robbing another. I very well know to whom I would give the first place in my friendship, but they are not in the way, I am condemned to another scene, and therefore I distribute it in pennyworths to those about me, and who displease me least, and should do the same to my fellow prisoners if I were condemned to a jail.

Jonathan Swift

Wherever I go, I run into myself.

Dejan Stojanovic

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.

Orison Swett Marden

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in stranger's gardens.

Douglas William Jerrold

Men have become the tools of their trade.

Henry David Thoreau

The important thing about being a leader is not being right or wrong but being certain. Of course it helps to be right as well, the Abbot conceeded.

Terry Pratchett

I love cats.

Dick Van Patten

Choose an author as you choose a friend.

Sir Christopher Wren

I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream.

Thomas Francis Meagher

Those people in New York are not gonna change me none.

Elvis Presley

The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days, waiting for better ones ahead.
