Promote yourself, but do not demote another.

Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said
nothing.

Don't think or judge, just listen.

I like to play blackjack. I'm not addicted to gambling, I'm
addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may
learn how to do it.

Part of being a hero is knowing when you don't need to be one
anymore.

Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.

Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.

The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the
steak to cook.

Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not
depend on us. We are not the only experiment.

Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise
passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original
author?

The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go
down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't
matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we
embark.

Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am
far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to
go.

Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.

Appetite, with an opinion of attaining, is called hope; the same,
without such opinion, despair.

Feet, why do I need them if I have wings to fly?

We all learn by experience but some of us have to go to summer
school.

A father is a man who expects his children to be as good as he
meant to be.

The summer night is like a perfection of thought.

The lessons this life has planted in my heart pertain more to
caring than crops, more to Golden Rule than gold, more to the
proper choice than to the popular choice.

The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be
preserved by quotation.

I am an invisible man. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone,
fiber and liquids -- and I might even be said to possess a mind. I
am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see
me.

In this unbelievable universe in which we live there are no
absolutes. Even parallel lines, reaching into infinity, meet
somewhere yonder.

It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you
die. That is true, it's called Life.

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are
made. Destiny is made known silently.

Patience and time do more than strength or passion.

The greatest gift we can give one another is rapt attention to one
another's existence.
