“The good generally displeases us when it is beyond our ken.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.”
Gloria Naylor
“The world will not stop and think- it never does, it is not its way; its way is to generalize from a single sample”
Mark Twain
“You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist's custom.”
“The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions /an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The palest ink is better than the best memory.”
Mohan Naidu
“I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”
Winston Churchill
“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.”
Albert Einstein
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
