All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing. Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.

Being a Bibliophile (Lover or collector of books), just what I need, more books. I devour Classic Romances especially Victorian times. Highly recommended.
Proud to be a Janeite ! an Austenite !
I liked Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice the best, even though it was a bit romantic. There were lots of laugh out loud moments & few tense. But Eliza, the protagonist, showed her best. She even stole my heart. My favourite Gold Fish in my home aquarium is named after her.

English is a funny language; that explains why we park our car on the driveway and drive our car on the parkway. It's a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water.
If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday. History is a kind of introduction to more interesting people than we can possibly meet in our restricted lives; let us not neglect the opportunity.
You can't make a great play unless you do it first in practice. Practice as if you are the worst, perform as if you are the best. Don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you can't get it wrong.
People don't play sports because its fun. Ask any athlete, most of them hate it, but they couldn't imagine their life with out it. Its part of them, the love/hate relationship. Its what they live for. They live for the practices, parties, cheers, long bus rides, invitationals, countless pairs of different types of shoes, water, Gatorade, & coaches you hate but appreciate. They live for the way it feels when they beat the other team, and knowing those two extra sprints they ran in practice were worth it. They live for the way they become a family with their team, they live for the countless songs they sing in their head while training all those hours. They live for the competition, they live for the friends, the practices, the memories, the pain, its who they are. It's who we are.
Play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back.
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page & do not know the value of men. There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign. When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable. People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home. The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are. Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. A traveller without observation is a bird without wings. Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money
