What a heavy oar the pen is,
and what a strong current ideas are to row in!
  -Gustave Flaubert

When we see men
of a contrary character,
we should turn inwards and
examine ourselves.*
  -Confucius

Wise men talk because they
have something to say;
fools, because they have to say something.
  - Plato

Start every day off with a smile
and get it over with.
  - W. C. Fields
