| Quote:The Moral Law tells us the tune we have to play: our instincts are merely the keys.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:To be thrown upon one's own resources, is to be cast into the very lap of fortune; for our faculties then undergo a development and display an energy of which they were previously unsusceptible.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:There are people who strictly deprive themselves of each and every eatable, drinkable, and smokable which has in any way acquired a shady reputation. 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:Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience.[Laurence Peter] Quote:If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.[Socrates] Quote:True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island?.to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.[Baltasar Gracian] Quote:How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.[Adam Smith] Quote:It is better to be bold than too circumspect, because fortune is of a sex which likes not a tardy wooer and repulses all who are not ardent.[Nicolo Machiavelli] Quote:You've been listening to the adagio from Beethoven's 7th Symphony. I think Ludwig pretty much summed up death in this one. You know, he had lost just about all his hearing when he wrote it, and I've often wondered if that didn't help him tune into the final silence of the great beyond. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts. [Cicero] Quote:The shifts of Fortune test the reliability of friends.
