“The enduring impact of our choices is not what we get, but what we become.”
—Michael Josephson

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

You have to be young and dumb before you can be old and wise.

When you learn in youth, what is it like?
Like ink writen on new paper.
When you learn in old age, what is it like?
Like ink written on erased paper.
(Elisha Ben Abuya, in Ethics of the Fathers)

'Patience is a virtue'

Respect all, but follow one path - that is the quickest way for progress.

Please meet me when I am most beautiful!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but the eyes are led by the heart.

The anatomy envisioned by these bromides is hysterical:

• the quickest way to the heart is through the stomach
• absence makes the heart grow fonder
• Keep your feet on the ground, your nose to the grindstone and your shoulder to the wheel

It is better to deserve a honor and not get it than get a honor and not deserve it.
