Horace Walpole

Nothing is more difficult, in my opinion, than to avoid something that fundamentally attracts you.

A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Don’t make me put your head in my blender!

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

Life is a full-contact sport, and there’s a score up on the board.

Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I know all those people. I have friendly, social, and criminal relations with the whole lot of them.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

You, and only you, choose how you feel.

We are here for experience, and experience is a preparation to know the Truth when we meet it.

What is the one thing that I could do to help you?

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.

I’m not a survivor. Survivor comes from saying you barely made it and you’re a victim. I am triumphant. I’m not a survivor.
