Tact is the rare ability to keep silent while two friends are arguing, and you know both of them are wrong.

Hugh Allen Musician

It would be far easier to lose weight permanently if replacement parts weren't so handy in the refrigerator.

Hugh Allen Musician

No man has all the wisdom in the world; everyone has some.

E. W. Howe Novelist

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

C. S. Lewis Novelist

Every one of us is a mystic. We may or may not realize it, we may not even like it. But whether we know it or not, whether we accept it or not, mystical experience is always there, inviting us on a journey of ultimate discovery. We have been given the gift of life in this perplexing world to become who we ultimately are: creatures of boundless love, caring compassion, and wisdom. Existence is a summons to the eternal journey of the sage - the sage we all are, if only we could see.

Wayne Teasdale Author

You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.

Sam Levenson Humorist

Men almost universally have acknowledged providence, but that fact has had no force to destroy natural aversions and fears in the presence of events.

George Santayana Philosopher

America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong. Like, I was watching 'Breaking Bad' the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'f__k'. And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'f__k'? It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Look what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep out 'molly'?

Miley Cyrus Actress

Be wiser than other people if you can; but do not tell them so.

Lord Chesterfield British Statesman

He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.

J. R. R. Tolkien Writer
