The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuses.

If thou dost love life, then do not squander time... for that is the stuff life is made of.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Remember, that credit is money.

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain, and most fools do.

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

Our Constitution is in actual operation; everything appears to promise that it will last; but in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.

"I love you. Not the kind they taught you about and I didn't know this either but love doesn't make things nice. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess.  we aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect--not us. We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bullshit." - Moonstruck
