If you want to do something, do it! - Plautus I don't like being best man at a wedding 'cause there's no way to prove it. Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook and a good digestion. All love that has not friendship for its base is like a mansion built upon the sand. It is with our passions as it is with fire and water - they are good servants, but bad masters. The wisdom of all ages and cultures emphasizes the tremendous power our thoughts have over our character and circumstances. Nothing unites the English like war. Nothing divides them like Picasso. Beware of trying to accomplish anything by force. The only gift is a portion of thyself. |
