Robert A. Heinlein
A fool cannot be protected from his folly. If you attempt to do so, you will not only arouse his animosity but also you will be attempting to deprive him of whatever benefit he is capable of deriving from experience. Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

E. B. White
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.

Sir Thomas Browne
Be charitable before wealth makes thee covetous.

Sainte-Beave
There are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.

Mark Twain
I was born modest. Not all over, but in spots.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, (attributed)
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Virginia Woolf
Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title.
