To withhold deserved praise lest it should make its object conceited is as dishonest as to withhold payment of a just debt lest your creditor should spend the money badly.

Climbing hills was never one of my great ambitions. Perhaps I was just lazy, but I admit--now that I've been climbing a hill every other day--that it's very difficult to think about the stresses in your life while you're trying to avoid falling backwards when a goat with large horns is chasing you because you came too close to the little patch of grass he was planning to eat for breakfast.

Gene Wilder

Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love.

Euripides

Monica Keena

All publicity is good, except an obituary notice.

Brendan F. Behan

The two principles on which our conduct towards the Indians should be founded, are justice and fear. After the injuries we have done them, they cannot love us.

Thomas Jefferson

P. W. Bridgman

We are all born mad. Some remain so.

Samuel Beckett

The female that loves unrequited sleeps, And the male that loves unrequited sleeps, The head of the money-maker that plotted all day sleeps, And the enraged and treacherous dispositions, all, all sleep.

Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass (1

Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.

Frank Herbert

Nowhere has the political power of coal been more obvious than in presidential campaigns.
