C. S. Lewis
I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of Admin. The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid dens of crime that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.

Japanese Proverb
Fall down seven times, get up eight.

Evelyn Waugh
It is a curious thing... that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

Samuel Johnson
Dictionaries are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true.

George Will
Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings.

Julius Henry Marx
Don't look now, but there's one too many in this room and I think it's you.

Conan Doyle
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.
= = = = = = = = = =
Robert Frost
Forgive me my nonsense as I also forgive the nonsense of those who think they talk sense.
= = = = = = = = = =
John Dewey
Anyone who has begun to think places some portion of the world in jeopardy.
= = = = = = = = = =
George Woodberry
To feel that one has a place in life solves half the problems of contentment.
