Even though this has nothing to do with Books and Authors. Henry David Thoreau once said: " There is more in the Earth than the minds of men can conceive ". And during the 1924 Presidential election of Teddy Roosevelt some one asked Will Rogers his opinion of the election and he said " Suppose you were a politician; and suppose you were an idiot; but, I repeat myself. "

the sheep that their interests and
his own are the same. --Stendhal

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." - Copy to Clipboard
-- Mark Twain

"To begin with," said the Cat, "a dog's not mad. Do you grant that?"
"I suppose so," said Alice.
"Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags it's tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."

misfortune comes and the unhappy sufferer first understands
the meaning of the sublime language in which he invokes the
pity of heaven!
(Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas)

He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. And that was all his patrimony.

"Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet."

-Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" Act I Scene I
