Anatole France

Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.

Wear the old coat and buy the new book.

Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.

There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have.

Life is an improvisation. You have no idea what’s going to happen next and you are mostly just making things up as you go along.

I never hurt nobody but myself and that’s nobody’s business but my own.

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don’t speak of yourself.

Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of ignorance.

Water from the white fountain didn’t taste any better than from the black fountain.

Man is the only animal that blushes – or needs to.

I do believe I am special. My special gift is my vision, my commitment, and my willingness to do whatever it takes.

But to do for the world more than the world does for you, that is Success.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.

I am what I am Are you what you are or What?

In ceremonies of the horsemen, even the pawn must hold a grudge.
