Great post. I especially enjoyed the Lily Tomlin quote. My personal favorite (a very commonly known one) is the serenity prayer -
ReplyDeleteGod grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
With strong emphasis on the wisdom part :)

ReplyDelete"Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first."
"The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom."
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. "
He's a very quotable fellow. :)
