WISE MEN'S SAYINGS...

Most times when we read books or articles published by good writers, and we come across sentences or quotations that are very true, we become elated.
This exhilarating feeling stems from the fact that the very words of this author have aptly described the situation.
Some of these words could be mere ''quotations'' which speak volume. I have great respect for men and women who have used words economically to drive home their point.
Here are few examples that I have compiled together.

'...when the people fear the government,then there is TYRANNY. But when the government fear the people, there is LIBERTY.'

'...One ought , everyday at least, to hear a little song, read a good book or poem, see a fine picture and if possible, speak a few reason words.'

'...the true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him no good.'

'...birth brings happiness; life is pleasant; death is peaceful. It is only the transition that is troublesome.'

'...one of the symtoms of an approaching nervous breakdown, is the belief that one's work is terribly important.'

'...from the moment i picked your book up until I laid it down, I convulsed with laughter; someday I intend reading it.'

'...the greatest of fault I should say, is to be conscious of none.'

'...in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.'

'...the power of accurate observation is frequently called 'cynicism' by those who don't have it.'

'...some cause happiness WHEREVER they go,others WHENEVER they go.'

'...there are people in the world so hungry, that God appear to them except in the form of bread.'

'...women might be able to fake orgasms; but men can fake a whole relationship.'

'...love is friendship set on fire.'

Tell me what you think of these quotes.
