Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.
Pliny The Elder
You have to be frugal with your contempt because of the large number of needy.

And maybe you don’t go to hell for the things you do. Maybe you go to hell for the things you don’t do.
Chuck Palahniuk
Often a sign of expertise is noticing what doesn’t happen.
Malcolm Gladwell
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
Kent Keith
In the late 19th century Evanston, Illinois, nicknamed “Heavenston” by Frances Willard, was a Methodist-minded town, so pious that the town fathers, resenting the dissipating influence of the soda fountain, passed an ordinance forbidding the sale of ice cream sodas on Sunday. Some ingenious confectioners, obeying the law, served ice cream with syrup but no soda. This sodaless soda was the Sunday soda, and became so popular that orders for “Sundays” crossed the counter everyday of the week. When objection was raised to christening the dish after the Sabbath, the spelling was changed to Sundae, and so developed one of America’s most characteristic dishes.
William Lyon Phelps
My act consists of my gown that I carry and two spotlights and a microphone.
Joan Rivers
We missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.
