Recommended Posts

Anybody got any favorite ones?
Here are some of mine...

Marcus Aurelius


One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar!

Hellen Keller

She cried and the judge wiped her tears with my checkbook.


Tommy Manville

Don Marquis

Don't give women advise; one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the eveningh.

Oscar Wilde


To act responsibly, you have to take leaps without being sane!

Dan Ellsberg


A very popular error...having the courage of ones convictions; rather, its a matter of having the courage for an attack on ones convictions.



Nietzsche


Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great!


Mark Twain



Any others???

Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.
