Oaths are but words, and words are but wind.
From Samuel Butler
Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.
I do not mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.
God cannot alter the past, though historians can.
All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.
Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.
When a man is in doubt about this or that in his writing, it will often guide him if he asks himself how it will tell a hundred years hence.
The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore.
Though analogy is often misleading, it is the least misleading thing we have.
All truth is not to be told at all times.
