God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.
Paul Valery
Coincidences, in general, are great stumbling-blocks in the way of that class of thinkers who have been educated to know nothing of the theory of probabilities.
Edgar Allan Poe
I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation
Margaret Thatcher

When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!
Matt Groening
Do you realize if it weren't for Edison we'd be watching TV by candlelight?
Al Boliska
Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting.
Bible
When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.
Joseph Campbell
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed but that he cannot believe anyone else.
George Bernard Shaw
Advice, like medicine, should be given in small does; that a little is good doesn't mean more will be better.
The Country Parson
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.
Bible
The world to a blind man is his touch. The world to a stupid man is his mouth. The world to a great man is his vision.
Paul Harvey
