“Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.”
C.S. Lewis
“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”
Oscar Wilde
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
Mark Twain
“We have a natural right to make use of our pens as of our tongues, at our peril, risk and hazard.”
Voltaire
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
Abraham Lincoln
“If your strength is small, don't carry heavy burdens. If your words are worthless, don't give advice.”
Chinese Proverbs
