Random Quotes and Quotations
 It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it. - Seneca  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. - Bible Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change. The ability to take pride in your own work is one of the hallmarks of sanity. Love is letting go of fear. Love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave. - Bible If you have enough fantasies, you're ready, in the event that something happens. Power is the recognition of necessity. You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink. What you think is an illusion created by your glands, your emotions and, in the last analysis, by the content of your stomach. That gray matter you're so proud of is like a mirror in an amusement park which transmits to you nothing but distorted signals from reality forever beyond your grasp. - Ayn Rand I am not so much concerned with the right of everyone to say anything he pleases as I am about our need as self-governing people to hear everything relevant. They tell about a fifteen-year-old boy in an orphans' home who had an incurable stutter. One Sunday the minister was detained and the boy volunteered to say the prayer in his stead. He did it perfectly, too, without a single stutter. Later he explained, "I don't stutter when I talk to God. He loves me." Laughter is a gift everyone should open. Pride ruined the angels. Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning. If we wish to know the force of human genius, we should read Shakespeare. If we wish to see the insignificance of human learning, we may study his commentators. It is more easy to get a favor from fortune than to keep it. Blessed is he that considereth the poor. - Bible Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them. Grief and constant anxiety kill nearly as many women as men die on the battlefield.
