Some cool Quotations to liven up your day

Location: Los Alamos, California, United States

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.I'm always there to tell people that their life is not that bad. I wish it was easy to follow that advice It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore. ...
