There's such a thin line between winning and losing. ~John R. Tunis



Brahma was excessively sparing with earth, water, and fire.... The reckless expenditure of air and ether in his composition was amazing. And, in consequence, he perpetually struggled to outreach the wind, to outrun space itself. Other animals ran only when they had a reason, but the Horse would run for no reason whatever, as if to run out of his own skin. ~Rabindranath Tagore



He struggles to exude authority. He furrows his brow, trying to look more sagacious, but he ends up looking as if he has indigestion. Appearing confused at his own speech, he seems like a first-grade actor in a production of James and the Giant Peach. Are his blinks Morse code for "Oh, man, don't let that teleprompter break?" ~Maureen Dowd, about George W. Bush



Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. ~Theodore Geisel



Mind is everything. Muscle - pieces of rubber. All that I am, I am because of my mind. ~Paavo Nurmi



A lie has speed, but truth has endurance. ~Edgar J. Mohn



When we trust the makers of baby formula more than we do our own ability to nourish our babies, we lose a chance to claim an aspect of our power as women. Thinking that baby formula is as good as breast milk is believing that thirty years of technology is superior to three million years of nature's evolution. Countless women have regained trust in their bodies through nursing their children, even if they weren't sure at first that they could do it. It is an act of female power, and I think of it as feminism in its purest form. ~Christine Northrup



Sandy's fastball was so fast, some batters would start to swing as he was on his way to the mound. ~Jim Murray, on Sandy Koufax



We didn't all come over on the same ship, but we're all in the same boat. ~Bernard M. Baruch



There are two days in the week about which and upon which I never worry... Yesterday and Tomorrow. ~Robert Jones Burdette



There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul. ~Edith Wharton



When we're unemployed, we're called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression. ~Jesse Jackson



Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place. ~Carrie Latet



Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go. ~Truman Capote



But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits. ~Andre Gide



You live and learn. At any rate, you live. ~Douglas Adams



Law never made men a whit more just; and by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice. A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart. They have no doubt that it is a damnable business in which they are concerned; they are all peaceably inclined. Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines, at the service of some unscrupulous man in power? The mass of men serve the State thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies.... In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. ~Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience



The part can never be well unless the whole is well. ~Plato



Diseases crucify the soul of man, attenuate our bodies, dry them, wither them, rivel them up like old apples, make them as so many Anatomies. ~Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy



Who rises from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered. ~George Meredith
