Arthur Schopenhauer
“It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims

Voltaire
“The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.”
Voltaire

Mark Twain
“Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.”
Mark Twain

Robert Anton Wilson
“Entropy requires no maintenance.”
Robert Anton Wilson, Schrödinger's Cat 1: The Universe Next Door

Mark Twain
“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
Mark Twain
