Vienna, Austria - 2007How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.
Benjamin Disraeli, Speech at the House of Commons, January 24, 1860
In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Johann von Neumann
If you are a terror to many, then beware of many.
Ausonius
Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.
Alice May Brock
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Douglas Adams
When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.
Michel de Montaigne
The easiest thing in the world to be is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
Leo Buscaglia
If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out.
Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
Above all things, reverence yourself.
Pythagoras
Storms make oaks take deeper root.
George Herbert
Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable.
Brenda Ueland
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
Aeschylus
