Studies serve for delight for ornaments and for ability.
Francis Bacon
Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.
Abraham Lincoln
Suspicion amongst thoughts are like bats amongst birds they never fly by twilight.
Francis Bacon
Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror and you keep making faces all your life.
Bette Davis
All murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
Voltaire
I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools, they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
William Blake
Because one doesn't like the way things are is no reason to be unjust towards God.
Victor Hugo
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Winston Churchill
Considering how foolishly people act and how pleasantly they prattle perhaps it would be better for the world if they talked more and did less.
W. Somerset Maugham
