Never raise your hand to your children - it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

John Ruskin

Cursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.
John Ruskin

John Ruskin

You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.
Christopher Reeve

For if any man who never saw fire proved by satisfactory arguments that fire burns. His hearer's mind would never be satisfied, nor would he avoid the fire until he put his hand in it that he might learn by experiment what argument taught.

Between richer and poorer classes in a free country a mutually respecting antagonism is much healthier than pity on the one hand and dependence on the other, as is, perhaps, the next best thing to fraternal feeling.
Charles Horton Cooley

Evil and good are God's right hand and left.
Horace Mann

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.
