Life is what happens whilst you're busy making other plans

Discussion groups, chat lines, support networks - the new millenium. The age of the all vocalising all important fuck up. Normal men and women spilling the contents of their troubled souls in to the ears of the uninterested.

Excreting the sorry waste of their emotional innards in all manner of public places; pubs, telly, newspapers. If only they'd zip it and heed their inner voice, the one that never lies, the one that screams at ya in the dead of night. Oh I, it is better to remain silent, than be thought a repressed old fart and opens one mouth and be discovered a babbling self-obsessed fool. Shameless

she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work.

Will Turner: That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure
Captain Jack Sparrow: Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.

Captain Jack Sparrow: Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid

Captain Barbossa: Jack Sparrow? Impossible!

Captain Jack Sparrow: Improbable, not impossible

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!"

I travel to lots of new places. But it always seems to be a place I've been before - Mad Men

Benjamin Franklin

He that would live in peace and at ease, must not speak all he knows or all he sees

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it

And whether you're an honest man, or whether you're a thief, depends on whose solicitor has given me my brief

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing

Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle

I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things
