I'm following Paddy-fan-'s example and 写作 my own 10 语录 to live by. These may not be my 最喜爱的 语录 ever but they are nice ones.

1. 爱情 is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. - Henry Louis Mencken

2. If 你 are not criticized, 你 may not be doing much. - Donald H. Rumsfeld

3. There's one way to find out if a man is honest - ask him. If he says, "Yes," 你 know he is a crook. - Groucho Marx

4. That 你 may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people 由 doing what 你 know is right, than to temporarily please them 由 doing what 你 know is wrong. - William J. H. Boetcker

5. If 你 don't think your life is 更多 important than someone elses then sign your donor card and kill yourself. - House, House M.D.

6. For me, 音乐 and life are all about style. - Miles Davis

7. It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them. - P. G. Wodehouse

8. I could not become anything: neither bad nor good, neither a scoundrel nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the 苦 and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something. - Fyodor Dostoevsky, 'Notes From Underground'

9. Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company. - Mark Twain

10. I would rather have a mind opened 由 wonder than one closed 由 belief. - Gerry Spence
