Random Quotes and Quotations
 Art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes it visible.  The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain, to show them that we love them, not when we feel like it, but when they do. As for me, all I know is that I know nothing. - Socrates Pain is the root of knowledge. We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over. We triumph without glory when we conquer without danger. Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Poverty is less a matter of income than of prospects. While the incomes of the poor have steadily risen through Great Society largesse, their prospects have plummeted as families have broken into dependent fragments. Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant. - Socrates Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum! The sinning is the best part of repentance. Those who trust us educate us. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Go ahead and do it. It's much easier to apologize after something's been done than to get permission ahead of time. Everyone hears only what he understands. - Goethe A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference ... it pardons shortcomings; it consoles failure. It recommends moderation. Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is. The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. With three or more people there is something bold in the air: direct things get said which would frighten two people alone and conscious of each inch of their nearness to one another. To be three is to be in public - you feel safe. The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities, and make the most of one's resources.
