Don't waste time learning the "tricks of the trade." Instead, learn the trade. ~James Charlton
It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed. ~Author Unknown
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and, whatever you hit, call it the target. ~Patrick Toche
One's suffering disappears when one lets oneself go, when one yields - even to sadness. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Southern Mail, 1929, translated from French by Curtis Cate
Antisthenes says that in a certain faraway land the cold is so intense that words freeze as soon as they are uttered, and after some time then thaw and become audible, so that words spoken in winter go unheard until the next summer. ~Plutarch, Moralia
None of us can boast about the morality of our ancestors. The records do not show that Adam and Eve were married. ~Ed Howe
The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny. ~Napoleon Bonaparte
Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone. ~G.B. Stern
To poke a wood fire is more solid enjoyment than almost anything else in the world. ~Charles Dudley Warner
Though I like the various forms of football in the world, I don't think they begin to compare with these two great Anglo-Saxon ball games for sophisticated elegance and symbolism. Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and base - in both senses - greed. With football we are back to the monotonous clashing armor of the brontosaurus. ~John Fowles
What a person believes is not as important as how a person believes. ~Timothy Virkkala
Joel Siegel: "Yes.... Gilda Radner... said this in her book. What cancer does is, it forces you to focus, to prioritize, and you learn what's important. I mean, I don't sweat the small stuff. I used to get angry at cab drivers. It's not worth it.... And when somebody says you have cancer, you realize it's all small stuff. And what Gilda said is, if it weren't for the downside, everyone would want to have it. But there is a downside."
Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don't are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn't put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a Lesbian. ~Fran Lebowitz
Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive. ~Mel Brooks
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. ~Abraham Lincoln
If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home. ~James Michener
I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve. Let the chips fall where they may. ~Fight Club movie, screenplay by Jim Uhls, directed by David Fincher, novel by Chuck Palahniuk
Women.... Who made 'em? God must have been a... genius. Their hair. They say that the hair is everything, you know? Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls, and just wanted to go to sleep forever? ~Bo Goldman, "The Start of an Education," made popular by the movie Scent of a Woman
