George Bernard Shaw

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

Epicurus

The wise man thinks of fame just enough to avoid being despised.

1 Corinthians 1:27

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

Unknown (Benjamin Franklin)

In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.

Buddy Rich

I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way.

Proverb

As the rolling stone gathers no moss, so the roving heart gathers no affections.

Proverb

Charity begins at home.

Ancient Proverb

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Are we seeking power for power’s sake? Or are we seeking to make the world and our nation better places to live. If we seek the latter, violence can never provide the answer. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Francis Bacon

He that will not apply new remedies, must expect new evils: for Time is the greatest innovator: and if Time, of course, alter things to the worse, and wisdom and counsel shall not alter them to the better, what shall be the end?
