Hahaha!
For those of you who haven't heard it before...
"...in the morning, I will be sober, but you will still be ugly." No longer always the case in today's shallow world of Botox, but at the time, a marvelously done BURN.

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval." Mark Twain
"A book holds a house of gold."
"if the end of wisdom is to add star to star our foolishness is pleasing"
- Auda Abu Tayi
the quote stems from a conversation between T. E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi while gazing at the stars and talking about telescopes. Auda was saying how hundreds of years from now man will create a telescope greater than we can even imagine building today, and generations after generations later man will create an even greater telescope than thought possible by thier ancestors before them. This cycle will continue and continue so man can gain all knowledge.
Mankind thousands of years ago might of looked up at the stars as I do and although they didn't know the names or lacation of all the stars, he was still content in life, still truley happy. You don't need to study and study for the sake of knowlege, for knowlege does not equate wisdom, and it does not bring happiness.

Oh happy dagger!
This is thy sheath,
Here thee shall rust,
And so let me die"
"I have ever hated all nations, professions, and communities, and all my love is toward individuals: for instance, I hate the tribe of lawyers, but I love Counsellor Such-a-one, and Judge Such-a-one: so with physicians—I will not speak of my own trade—soldiers, English, Scotch, French, and the rest. But principally I hate and detest that animal called man, although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth. This is the system upon which I have governed myself many years, but do not tell, and so I shall go on till I have done with them." Jonathan Swift in a letter to Alexander Pope
September 29, 1725
