QUIPS & QUOTES

Selected by Debra Tweedy The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. ~ J. P. Morgan, American financier and banker, 1837-1913 What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate. ~ Katherine Hepburn, American actor, 1907-2003 If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. ~ James Herriot, pen name of James Alfred Wight, British veterinarian and writer, 1916-1995 If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. ~ Will Rogers, American actor and humorist/columnist, 1879-1935 One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. ~ Virginia Woolf, English writer, 1882- 1941 There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin, American writer, 1929-2018 Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once ecentric. ~ Bertrand Russell, British writer and philosopher, 1872-1970 Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you. ~ Wendell Berry, American writer and poet and farmer, 1934- The best thing for being sad...is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. ~ T. H. White, English writer, 1906-1964 from The Once and Future King.
