“I would have carved on the portals of the National Press Club, "Put not your trust in princes." Only the very rarest of princes can endure even a little criticism, and few of them can put up with even a pause in the adulation.”
Walter Lippmann
“I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.”
Maya Angelou
“Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.”
Horace
“Work is the open sesame of every portal, the great equalizer in the world, the true philosopher's stone which transmutes all the base metal of humanity into gold.”
William Osler
“Pale, beyond porch and portal,/ Crowned with calm leaves, she stands,/ Who gathers all things mortal/ With cold immortal hands.”
Algernon Charles Swinburne
“Beauty is momentary in the mind / The fitful tracing of a portal; / But in the flesh it is immortal. / The body dies; the body's beauty lives.”
Wallace Stevens
“The whole portal approach to loading lots of stuff on back-end Web servers has grown stale in the tooth.”
