You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.

Real happiness is cheap enough, yet how dearly we pay for its counterfeit.

Hosea Ballou

Your secret is your prisoner; once you reveal it, you become its slave.

Ibn Gabirol

Don Marquis

For me, French is so rich and so sacred that learning it is like learning a foreign language.

Fabrice Luchini

Steven Wright

Courage is a quality so necessary for maintaining virtue, that it is always respected, even when it is associated with vice.

Samuel Johnson

Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise?Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means.And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes.True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly is before you.True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight.

Vera Nazarian

One was never married, and that's his hell another is, and that's his plague.

Robert Burton
