“To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face; to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the Ultimate Purpose toward which I am working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done -- this is how I desire to waste wisely my days.”
― Thomas Dekker

“A bore is someone who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
― Margaret Atwood
