Random Quotes and Quotations
 The integrity of men is to be measured by their conduct, not by their professions. - Junius  Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is quite as satisfying as an income tax refund. Parenting, at its best, comes as naturally as laughter. It is automatic, involuntary, unconditional love. Young men think old men fools and old men know young men to be so. We change, whether we like it or not. The best is the enemy of the good. - Voltaire It is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself. Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength. Oftentimes nothing profits more than self-esteem, grounded on what is just and right and well-managed. May the blessing of light be on you, light without and light within. May the blessed sunshine shine on you and warm your heart till it glows like a great peat fire, so that the stranger may come and warm himself at it, and also a friend. An oak and a reed were arguing about their strength. When a strong wind came up, the reed avoided being uprooted by bending and leaning with the gusts of wind. But the oak stood firm and was torn up by the roots. - Aesop Discontent is the first step in progress. No one knows what is in him till he tries, and many would never try if they were not forced to. The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what you are. If you are loving, if you are friendly, if you are helpful, the world will prove loving and friendly and helpful to you. The world is what you are. What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine. - Plautus The game isn't over until it's over. To be happy, drop the words "if only" and substitute instead the words "next time." Middle age is when your old classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald they don't recognize you. If people are suffering, then they must look within themselves. ... Happiness is not something ready-made [Buddha] can give you. It comes from your own actions. He that does good for good's sake seeks neither praise nor reward, though sure of both at last. 'Sartor Resartus' is simply unreadable, and for me that always sort of spoils a book.
