“Summer wanes; the children are grown;
Fun and frolic no more he knows. . . .”

William Cullen Bryant

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.

Harold Wilson

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

Oscar Wilde

"There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy."
George Washington

“The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.”

Abraham Lincoln

“The cat could very well be man's best friend but would never stoop to admitting it.”
Doug Larsen

"I also wanted to express a lot of old hurts past and things like that. And what ended up happening, and I'm really glad, is that it became like a love letter. So, I was saved from myself. A love letter to everyone I've loved."

Jim Carrey

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.”

Oscar Wilde

"If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee."

Abraham Lincoln

"Coffee leads men to trifle away their time, scald their chops, and spend their money, all for a little base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stinking nauseous puddle water."
The Women's Petition Against Coffee, 1674

Right ... I wonder what made those women so mad at coffee ... Anyhow, I found another saying which I really like but did not know. Apparently, it's a Dutch proverb (though I had never heard of it before:
"Coffee has two virtues: it is wet and warm."
