Voltaire
Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals nay it is treachery to comrades.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The hour which gives us life begins to take it away. - Hercules Furens
Henry C. Blinn
If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind.
Benjamin Franklin
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
Richard M. Nixon
Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
