Francis Beaumont
All confidence which is not absolute and entire, is dangerous. There are few occasions but where a man ought either to say all, or conceal all; for, how little so ever you have revealed of your secret to a friend, you have already said too much if you think it not safe to make him privy to all particulars.
Ray Kurzweil, The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence
Take death for example. A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it, and often consider its intrusion a tragic event. Yet we�d find it hard to live without it. Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
David Searles
The tendency of an event to occur varies inversely with one's preparation for it.
Willmott
The vain man is generally a doubter. It is Newton who sees himself as child on the sea shore, and his discoveries in the colored shell.
Anonymous

Vauvenargues

Unknown

Great Quotations
Zora Neale Hurston
Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.
Chinese Proverb
If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.
Samuel Johnson
I would rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
C. C. Colton
It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.
Back to the Future
Marty McFly Jesus, George, it's a wonder I was ever born.
Anonymous
A groundless rumor often covers a lot of ground.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
