They pay this price for health. And health is all they get for it. How strange it is. It is like paying out your whole fortune for a cow that has gone dry.[Mark Twain] Quote:My coat and I live comfortably togther. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and I only feel its presence because it keeps me warm. Old coats and old friends are the same thing.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.[Mark Twain] Quote:When you're comfortable with someone you love, the silence is the best.[Britney Spears] Quote:Talent is cheaper than table salt.

This is a solemn moment for the American democracy. For with primacy in power is joined an awe-inspiring accountability for the future.[Winston Churchill] Quote:There is nothing so stable as change.[Bob Dylan] Quote:We all wish to be judged by our peers, by the men 'after our own heart.' Only they really know our mind and only they judge it by standards we fully acknowledge. Theirs is the praise we really covet and the blame we really dread. The little pockets of early Chrstians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of 'the bretheren' and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society around them. But a circle of criminals, cranks, or perverts survives in just the same way; by becoming deaf to the opinion of the outer world, by discounting it as the chatter of outsiders who 'don't understand,' of the 'conventional,' the 'bourgeois,' the 'Establishment,' of prigs, prudes, and humbugs.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Every act and event is the inevitable result of prior acts and events and is independent of human will.[Karl Marx] Quote:In politics, strangely enough, the best way to play your cards is to lay them face upwards on the table.[H.G. Wells] Quote:Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and instill into them just principles, we are then engraving that upon tablets which no time will efface, but will brighten and brighten to all eternity.[Daniel Webster] Quote:I'm at an age where I think more about food than sex. Last week I put a mirror over my dining room table.[Rodney Dangerfield] Quote:If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Why, you can take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together - what do you get? The sum of their fears.[Winston Churchill] Quote:I have always thought of Christmas time as a good time. A kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time. The only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.[Charles Dickens] Quote:Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soulmate is the one you are actually married to.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:Wedding: a ceremony at which two persons undertake to become one, one undertakes to become nothing, and nothing undertakes to become supportable.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:But the body is deeper than the soul and its secrets inscrutable.

[Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:For certain is death for the born<br>And certain is birth for the dead;<br>Therefore over the inevitable<br>Thou shouldst not grieve. [Bhagavad Gita] Quote:The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself. [Mark Twain] Quote:Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. [John F. Kennedy] Quote:They're slobbery and they're whiney and they look at you just like they could see right into your soul and they're unpredictable and the smell and they're noisy and the world revolves around them and why!? I don't get it. They're not interesting. They can't tell jokes, they don't have opinions, and they're boring, you know? They're just boring and annoying and I don't want to have one. [Barbara Hall] Quote:Wildness. We're running out of it, even up in Alaska. People need to be reminded that the world is unsafe and unpredictable, and at a moment's notice, they could lose everything, like that. I do it to remind them that chaos is always out there, lurking beyond the horizon. That, plus, sometimes you have to do something bad, just to know you're alive. [David Assael] Quote:If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling.

[Aristotle] Quote:Honesty is a good thing, but it is not profitable to its possessor unless it is kept under control. [Don Marquis] Quote:Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever. [Margaret Cho] Quote:It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing. [D. H. Lawrence] Quote:There are two modes of establishing our reputation: to be praised by honest men, and to be abused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the former, because it will invariably be accompanied by the latter. [Charles Caleb Colton] Quote:Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favour of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position. [Bertrand Russell] Quote:When men exercise their reason coolly and freely on a variety of distinct questions, they inevitably fall into different opinions on some of them. When they are governed by a common passion, their opinions, if they are to be called, will be the same.
