Quotations Update
Mark Twain, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", Chapter 2
He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.
Virgil
As the twig is bent the tree inclines.
Edward R. Murrow
To be persuasive, we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible, we must be truthful.
Douglas Noel Adams
Totally mad. Utter nonsense. But we'll do it because it's brilliant nonsense.
P. G. Wodehouse, Uneasy Money
At the age of eleven or thereabouts women acquire a poise and an ability to handle difficult situations which a man, if he is lucky, manages to achieve somewhere in the later seventies.
John Holt

Oprah Winfrey
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.
Anon.
Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique.
Kelly Marshall
It matters not how tall you are, but how straight you grow.
Clare Booth Luce
They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.
William Penn
Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders, than from the arguments of its opposers.

Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave.
