I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority, by someone recognized wiser than oneself - Marlene Dietrich

FRANCOIS de la ROCHEFOUCAULD

NADINE STAIR
If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.

Always listen to the experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it.

MARCUS AURELIUS
Tell yourself each morning - today I shall meet an envious man, an ungrateful one and a bully, and if I had their life I could easily become one too.

To be persuasive, we must be believable.
To be believable, we must be credible.
To be credible, we must be truthful.

AMANDA McBROOM
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

ANON
My grandpa notes the world's worn cogs
And says we're going to the dogs.
His grandpa in his house of logs
Said things were going to the dogs.
His grandpa in the Flemish bogs
Said things were going to the dogs.
His grandpa in his hairy togs
Said things were going to the dogs.
But this is what I wish to state.
The dogs have had a long, long wait.

ALEXANDER POPE
Be sure yourself and your own reach to know,
How far your genius, taste and learning go.
Launch not beyond your depth, but be discreet,
And mark that point where sense and dullness meet.
