"Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That
way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes."
"Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life."
"Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on."

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!"
"Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes."
All of them by Terry Pratchett
Also, I like these:
"Nostalgia is not what it used to be."
"The secret of happiness is not the money. It is the amount of it."
'The belief that time is a linear, directed sequence running from A to B is a modern illusion. In fact, it can also go from B to A, the effect producing the cause'. Umberto Eco "Foucault's Pendulum"
I also like
'To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.'
Shakespeare of course.
