“Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.”
George MacDonald
“A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.”
Mark Twain
“A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.”
Robert Frost
“God's great cosmic joke on the human race was requiring that men and women live together in marriage”
