"Only the shallow know themselves."

-Oscar Wilde

"If you know too much, you'll get old too soon."

"My feeling must be of the species they call passion. . . One thing I know for sure: without you it's the end of me, and with you it's also the end. It makes no difference where you are: far or near, you're always present. I also know that I could hate you a good deal more than I could love you. .. I'm sorry that I had to fall in love with someone like you."
- Dostoevsky

"We accept the love we think we deserve" -The Perks of Being a Wallflower

"In heaven, all the interesting people are missing."

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt


?Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey... Doesn't try it on.?
-Billy Connolly

See sig.

Also, "Have an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out". I don't know the original source for that one, but I seem to recall Carl Sagan saying it at some point.

An obvious favorite for someone who likes to sleep in:

"Progress doesn't come from early risers ? progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things." ~Lazarus Long

Another:

"Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please ? this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time ? and squawk for more!
So learn to say No ? and to be rude about it when necessary." ~R.A.H.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Thomas Jefferson

"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."
Satchel Paige

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha

For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal.
JFK
