Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.

In my mind, as long as I did what was right for me, I was cool. But that's not the way it works. You have to think about other people and take their feelings into account.

Joe Nichols

The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.

Baltasar Gracian

Popularity is the one insult I have never suffered.

Oscar Wilde

I wouldn't say that I've had a tough life by any stretch of the imagination.

Duncan Sheik

Anything done for the first time unleashes a demon.

Dave Sim

I have a family, loving aunts, and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything except my one true friend. All I think about when I'm with friends is having a good time. I can't bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don't seem to be able to get any closer, and that's the problem.

Anne Frank

It's so sad: anything that has to do with God, people want to dispel.

Sylvia Browne

The artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.

Friedrich von Schiller

Like it or not, there are people who are capable to love genuinely and kill brutally. The amazing thing about that, few of those could even sleep well like babies in the night.

Toba Beta

While seeking revenge, dig two graves -- one for yourself.

Doug Horton

Faith can be interested in results only, for a truth once recognized as such puts an end to the believer's thinking.

Wilhelm von Humboldt

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden, Ch.
