A friend in high school gave me this quote. I have remembered it all these years, and it still amuses me...
"Of such a preponderance of assininity, I have never been cognizant. Not that I would cavil at, or vituperate, the non-efficient faculties of the proletariat. However, the lack of errudition in this environment is painfully apparent."
Remember this, when someone tries to baffle you with a lot of BS....

" Never leave till tomorrow, which you can do today "
" The critic is one who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing "
You sow a thought, you reap an action.
You sow an action, you reap a habit.
You sow a habit, you reap a character.
You sow a character, you reap a destiny.
It all starts with a thought.

“It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.”
“If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies... It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”
“Only a life lived for others is worth living”
“The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.”
“These thoughts did not come in any verbal formulation. I rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterward.”
“Don't listen to their words- fix your attention on their deeds.”
“Stand still. The trees ahead and bush beside you are not lost.”
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity.”
“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
“Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow -- perhaps it all will.”
“When I was still a rather precocious young man, I already realized most vividly the futility of the hopes and aspirations that most men pursue throughout their lives.”

“Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions.”
“Better to live one year as a tiger, than a hundred as a sheep.”
“A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.”
“I think my greatest ambition in life is to pass on to others what I know.”
“While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, another is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.”
“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”
“Cute is when a person's personality shines through their looks. Like in the way they walk, every time you see them you just want to run up and hug them.”
The only thing worse than an ignorant man- is an ignorant man with a bible.
The one thing you can give and still keep is your word.
The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot.
The greatest tragedy is when man gives up what he wants most for what he wants now!
The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.
