X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

There are three kinds of despots. There is the despot who tyrannizes over the body. There is the despot who tyrannizes over the soul. There is the despot who tyrannizes over the soul and body alike. The first is called the Prince. The second is called the Pope. The third is called the People.

Oscar Wilde

A court is a place where what was confused before becomes more unsettled than ever.

Henry Waldorf Francis

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.

Mahatma Gandhi

You can handle people more successfully by enlisting their feelings than by convincing their reason.

Paul P. Parker

Let common sense and common honesty have fair play, and they will soon set things to rights.

Thomas Jefferson

No one could ever truly be free as long as they loved, and life wasn't worth living without love. So freedom? Overrated.

Gena Showalter

The Americans never use the word peasant, because they have no idea of the class which that term denotes; the ignorance of more remote ages, the simplicity of rural life, and the rusticity of the villager have not been preserved among them; and they are alike unacquainted with the virtues, the vices, the coarse habits, and the simple graces of an early stage of civilization.

Alexis de Tocqueville

He that thinks he is the happiest man, really is so. But he that thinks he is the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.

Charles Caleb Colton

I'd get into a room and disappear into the woodwork. Now the rooms are so crowded with reporters getting behind-the-scenes stories that nobody can get behind-the-scenes stories.

Theodore White, American Journal

Without music, life would be an error.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.

Anthony Robbins

Do we not each dream of dreams? Do we not dance on the notes of lostmemories? Then are we not each dreamers of tomorrow and yesterday, since dreamsplay when time is askew? Are we not all adrift in the constant sea of trial and when all is done, do we not all yearn for ships to carry us home?
