“Idealist: One who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup”

Henry Louis Mencken

A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom.

-Proverb

Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.

- Cullen Hightower

Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity.

- Lord Acton

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

- Albert Einstein

Show me a character whose life arouses my curiosity, and my flesh begins crawling with suspense.

- Fawn M. Brodie

The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life.

- Daniel Boorstin

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

- Henry Brooks Adams

Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves.

- Lord Chesterfield

"False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil."

Socrates
