Quotes

* Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth.(Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus - German (Swiss-born) alchemist & physician (1493 - 1541))

* Not only is life a bitch, it has puppies.(Adrienne E. Gusoff - US teacher, humorist and greeting card writer )

* A vacation frequently means that the family goes away for a rest, accompanied by mother, who sees that the others get it.(Marcelene Cox)

* Arms are instruments of ill omen. . . . When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish. There is no glory in victory, and to glorify it despite this is to exult in the killing of men. . . . When great numbers of people are killed, one should weep over them with sorrow. When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites.(Lao-Tzu - Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC))
