John Steinbeck

I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.
 

Mark Twain

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Winston Churchill

Man occasionally stumbles across the truth,
but he usually picks himself up and continues on.

On his moral road, man swerves from side to side.

If hard work is the key to success,
man would prefer to pick the lock.

To those who think, life is a comedy;
to those who feel, life is a tragedy.

Those that knows that they know are wise.
Those that don't know that they know are asleep.
Those that know that they don't know are ignorant.
Those that don't know that they don't know are fools.

Mark Twain

Man is the only animal that blushes.
Or needs to.

Steven Wright

Everyone has a photographic memory,
but some people don't have enough film.

We are all manufacturers -
some make good,
others make trouble
and still others make excuses.

An optimist is someone who tells you to cheer up
when things are going his way.

There are two kinds of people in this world:
those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world
and those who are smart enough  to know better.

Nicolõ Machiavelli
 ("The Prince")

When neither their property nor their honor is touched,
the majority of men live content.

The people who drink to drown their sorrow
should realize that sorrow can swim.

Happy it is for mankind
that Heaven has laid on few men
the curse of being poets.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt
(1882-1945)
 

"...Continued dependence upon relief
induces a spiritual and moral disintegration
fundamentally destructive to the national fibre.

To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic,
a subtle destroyer of the human spirit..."

Aeschylus

When a man's willing and eager, the gods join in.

Ours is a world where people don't know what they want
and are willing to go through hell to get it.

Charles Wadsworth

By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right,
he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world as it exists;
the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Men and nations will act rationally
when all other possibilities have been exhausted.

Some men are discovered;
others are found out.

The man who does not read good books
has no advantage over the man who can't read.

A wise man can see more from a the bottom of a well
than a fool can from a mountain top.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains,
because the average man can see better than he can think.

Tell a man that there are six billion stars in the sky
and he will believe you.

Tell him that the paint on a park bench is wet
and he has to touch it to find out.

Albert Einstein

Only two things are infinite,
the universe and human stupidity,

and I'm not sure about the former.
