ALBERT EINSTEIN

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

ARTHUR C. CLARKE

Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.

PABLO PICASSO

My temptation is quiet.

W. B. YEATS

I can resist everything except temptation.

OSCAR WILDE

Why comes temptation, but for man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot, And so be pedestaled in triumph?

ROBERT BROWNING

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.

JAMES 1:12

A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.

RING LARDNER

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to.

OSCAR WILDE

I know a fellow who's as broke as the Ten Commandments.

JOHN MARQUAND

Say what you will about the Ten Commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.

H. L. MENCKEN

The future may teach us how to exercise a direct influence by means of particular chemical substances, upon the amount of energy and their distribution in the apparatus of the mind. It may be that there are other undreamed of possibilities of therapy.

Aristotle was famous for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons.

WILL CUPPY

Whenever he thought about it, he felt terrible. And so, at last, he came to a fateful decision. He decided not to think about it.

ANONYMOUS

A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.

VICTOR HUGO

I have found power in the mysteries of thought.

EURIPIDES

Thus only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that, a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten, men who never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought—the subtle rapture of a postponed power, which the world knows not because it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, JR.

Thought takes man out of servitude, into freedom.

HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

Thinking is an experimental dealing with small quantities of energy, just as a general moves miniature figures over a map before setting his troops in action.

The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshall replied, "In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!"

JOHN F. KENNEDY

If you don't have enough time to accomplish something, consider the work finished once it's begun.

JOHN CAGE

I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.

MARILYN MONROE

Next week there can't be any crisis. My schedule is already full.

HENRY A. KISSINGER

Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event.

OSCAR WILDE

They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

ANDY WARHOL

I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in fourteen days I lost two weeks.

JOE E. LEWIS

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

JOHN WAYNE

You will never "find" time for anything. If you want time you must make it.

CHARLES BUXTON

Follow your desire as long as you live; do not lessen the time of following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit.

PTAHHOTEP

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

ECCLESIASTES 3:1–8

Only time can heal your broken heart, just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.

MISS PIGGY

Everything happens to everybody sooner or later, if there is time enough.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Tolerance is the oil which takes the friction out of life.

WILBERT E. SCHEER

Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

So, if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

LUKE 16:11

I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs.

SAMUEL GOLDWYN

My mind is made up, don't try and confuse me with the facts.

OLD SAYING

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

ALDOUS HUXLEY

A paranoid is a man who knows a little of what's going on.

Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

From error to error, one discovers the entire truth.
