— Cary Grant
Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.

— E. B. White
I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart.

— e. e. cummings
What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know.

— Saint Augustine
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

— Mark Twain
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

— Petronius (210 BC)
The time we have at our disposal every day is elastic; the passions that we feel expand it, those that we inspire contract it; and habit fills up what remains

— Proust
So just as it is not the desire to become famous but the habit of being laborious that enables us to produce a finished work, so it is not the activity of the present moment but wise reflexions from the past that help us to safeguard the future

— Proust "Within the Budding Grove"
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

— William J. H. Boetcker
Only a genealogist thinks taking a step backwards is progress

— Lorna
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

A TV remote is female: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying.

— Anon
Hammers are male: Because in the last 5000 years they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.

— Anon
The right thing to do is to do nothing, the place to do it is in a place of concealment and the time to do it is as often as possible.

— Tony Cook "The Biology of Terrestrial Molluscs"
All that mankind has done, thought, gained or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.

— Thomas Carlyle "The Hero as Man of Letters"
