Spend and be free, but make no waste.

Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.

In a calm sea every man is a pilot.

Wedlock is a padlock.

He that preaches war is the devil's chaplain.

Listeners ne'er hear good of themselves.

He is wise that can make a friend of a foe.

Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.

He that uses many words for explaining any subject, doth, like the cuttlefish, hide himself for the most part in his own ink.

Good words cool more than cold water.

Where love fails we espy all faults.

Even under a harsh God-and I do not believe in a harsh God-one is entitled to serenity in old age.

Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.

Following what everyone else is doing is rarely a way to get rich.

Photography's central sense of purpose and aesthetic: the precise and lucid description of significant fact.

Imperfect men have no right to judge other imperfect men.

To a man with an empty stomach food is God

I hate labels because it should be just music. I don't see anything wrong with disco. Call it anything. It's music.

No one likes to see a government folder with his name on it.

Meanings generating meanings - the process has backed us into a particular corner, a kind of cave, where sunlight seldom enters.

My fighting gospel is T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom. I am never without it.
