I have a wonderful respect for old people.

There is a certain class of people who prefer to say that their fathers came down in the world through their own follies than to boast that they rose in the world through their own industry and talents. It is the same shabby-genteel sentiment, the same vanity of birth which makes men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels rather than elevated apes.

John Steinbeck

Cardinal Jean Francois de Retz

Life is so constructed, that the event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.

Charlotte Bronte

Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.

Benjamin Franklin

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

E. W. Howe
