The former post was removed because it was off topic, and thus a violation of our Great Books & Classics spirit. We are migrating to

Philosophy Forums,
and booksliterature.com Great Books forums. These are Great Books sites, and we prefer posts along the following
lines:
Without fear and illness, I could never have accomplished all I
have.
Edvard Munch
CVIII
What\'s in the brain, that ink may character,
Which hath not figur\'d to thee my true spirit?
What\'s new to speak, what now to register,
That may express my love, or thy dear merit?
Nothing, sweet boy; but yet, like prayers divine,
I must each day say o\'er the very same;
Counting no old thing old, thou mine, I thine,
Even as when first I hallow\'d thy fair name.
So that eternal love in love\'s fresh case,
Weighs not the dust and injury of age,
Nor gives to necessary wrinkles place,
But makes antiquity for aye his page;
Finding the first conceit of love there bred,
Where time and outward form would show it dead.
--William Shakespeare
Unemployment insurance is a pre-paid vacation for freeloaders.
Ronald Reagan
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the
source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a
stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as
good as dead: his eyes are closed. --Albert Einstein
