Turkish Proverb
A heart in love with beauty never grows old.
Bible, Paul, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
George Gurdjieff
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.
Gerald Barzan
Taxation WITH representation ain't so hot either.
Virgil
As the twig is bent the tree inclines.
Christopher Darlington Morley
There is no squabbling so violent as that between people who accepted an idea yesterday and those who will accept the same idea tomorrow.
Blaise Pascal
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. In is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and a manly heart.
