Words of Wisdom

Words of Wisdom

"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."

~Francis Bacon, "Of Beauty"

Words of Wisdom

"Be as decent as you can. Don't believe without evidence. Treat things divine with marked respect -- don't have anything to do with them. Do not trust humanity without collateral security; it will play you some scurvy trick. Remember that it hurts no one to be treated as an enemy entitled to respect until he shall prove himself a friend worthy of affection. Cultivate a taste for distasteful truths. And, finally, most important of all, endeavor to see things as they are, not as they ought to be."

~Ambrose Bierce

Words of Wisdom

"The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think."

~Theodore Zeldin

Words of Wisdom

"It is well to know something of the manners of various peoples, in order to more sanely judge our own, and that we do not think that everything against our modes is ridiculous, and against reason, as those who have seen nothing are accustomed to think."

Words of Wisdom

~Oscar Wilde

Words of Wisdom

"Ironic, isn't it Smithers? This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes has cost me the election. And yet, if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you."

~Mr. Burns, The Simpsons
