"The wheel and the brake have different..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“A thought comes when it will, not when I will.”

“Warfare is the father of all good things, it is also the father of good prose!”

“One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.”

“The bitter clamor of two eager tongues.”

“No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war.”

“So the case stands, and under all the passion of the parties and the cries of battle lie the two chief moving causes of the struggle. Union means so many millions a year lost to the South; secession means the loss of the same millions to the North. The love of money is the root of this as of many many other evils ... the quarrel between North and South is, as it stands, solely a fiscal quarrel.”

“The way to anybody's heart is through a thoughtfully-prepared, beautifully-executed, lovingly-presented meal.”

“Oh, Mama was a smart woman. It takes a smart woman to fall in love with a good man.”

“A man in love is like a clipped coupon - it's time to cash in.”
