The words are attributed to social activist and former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, but there is no solid supporting citation.

I strongly dislike them there signs hanging in people's homes. Sometimes we go in a house and it looks like they've literally bought every one they've ever seen regardless of what it says and hung them all over their kitchen

But I do like this one too:

Carl Sagan “The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us — there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.”

You may also know Dorothy from some of these classic one-liners:

Brevity is the soul of lingerie.

If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.

That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.

I like to have a martini, Two at the very most. After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host.

Résumé Razors pain you, Rivers are damp, Acids stain you, And drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful, Nooses give, Gas smells awful. You might as well live.

Four be the things I'd have been better without: love, curiosity, freckles and doubt.

I require three things in a man: he must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.

If I didn't care for fun and such, I'd probably amount to much. But I shall stay the way I am, Because I do not give a damn.

My favourite quote -

"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".

Martin Luther King Jr

For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvellous world, in this marvellous desert, in this marvellous time. I wanted to convince you that you must make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while; in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it” Don Juan to Carlos Castaneda, Journeys to Ixtlan
