Sometimes human nature can leave you looking just a little shamefaced.

The living always get over the dead. That’s what the dead never realize. If ever the dead did come back, they’d only have been sore that somehow you managed to get over their dying at all.

When you get a cat to catch the mice in your kitchen, you can't expect it to ignore the rats in the cellar.

And tell them all about the books you've read. Better still, buy some more books and read them. That's an order. You can never read too many books.

To grant all a man's wishes is to take away his dreams and ambitions. Life is only worth living if you have something to strive for. To aim at.

May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

A wish is a dish that's a lot like a fish: Once it's been eaten it's harder to throw back. - Mr. Rakshasas
