Proverbs often contradict one another, as any reader soon discovers. The sagacity that advises us to look before we leap promptly warns us that if we hesitate we are lost; that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but out of sight, out of mind.
From Leo Rosten
Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined.
Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable.
Any man who hates dogs and babies can't be all bad.
If you are going to do something wrong at least enjoy it.
Satire is focused bitterness.
A conservative is one who admires radicals centuries after they're dead.
First-rate people hire first-rate people; second-rate people hire third-rate people.
The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others.
Words must surely be counted among the most powerful drugs man ever invented.
