Great Quotations
Blaise Pascal
By a peculiar prerogative, not only each individual is making daily advances in the sciences, and may makes advances in morality, but all mankind together are making a continual progress in proportion as the universe grows older; so that the whole human race, during the course of so many ages, may be considered as one man, who never ceases to live and learn.

To feel "fit as a fiddle" you must tone down your middle.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 1 scene 3
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
