If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.
Audrey Hepburn
Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.
Aristotle
Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.
Aristotle
Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.
Aristotle

Niccolo Machiavelli

Niccolo Machiavelli
I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin', and hook up with them later.
Mitch Hedberg
My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
Mitch Hedberg
If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
George Carlin
When women go wrong, men go right after them.
Mae West
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
Plato
