It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde
If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some
Benjamin Franklin
Middle age is that period of life when you are old enough to know better but young enough to want to keep on doing it.

Anyone who goes to see a psychiatrist ought to have his head examined.
Samuel Goldwyn (Attributed)
A tactless man invariably says what everyone else is thinking.
Peter Green
Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there be beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there be harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
Chinese Proverb
Perhaps the angels who fear to tread where fools rush in used to be the fools who rushed in.
Franklin P Jones
Many of us spend half our time wishing for things we would have if we didn't spend half our time wishing.
Alexander Woollcott
No man is an island. Entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
John Donne
The follies you regret most are the ones you never committed.

Spaceship Earth
"...and to make things even more challenging and intelligence-provoking for the passengers, no instruction book on identification of parts and what they do and how to operate them came with the spaceship."
