Mike Corbett
“Cynicism is extremely contagious, and the most pious among us cannot long endure its potency. The gullible should be on their guard, however, since this endearing quality frequently masquerades as wit.”
Mike Corbett

Bauvard
“Experience: the vehicle of history. Teenagers: the driving force behind fatal accidents.”
Bauvard, Some Inspiration for the Overenthusiastic

Maimonides
“We naturally like what we have been accustomed to, and are attracted towards it. [...] The same is the case with those opinions of man to which he has been accustomed from his youth; he likes them, defends them, and shuns the opposite views.”
Maimonides, The Guide for the Perplexed

Gretchen Rubin
“Never start a sentence with the words 'No offense.”
Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project

Criss Jami
“...There are also those who inadvertently grant power to another man's words by continuously trying to spite him. If a man gets to the point where he can simply say, 'The sky is blue,' and people indignantly rush up trying to refute him saying, 'No, the sky is light blue,' then, whether they realize it or not, he has become an authority figure even to such adversaries.”
Criss Jami
