William Hazlitt
-
A man's knowledge may be said to be mature, in other words, when it has reached the most complete state of perfection to which he, as an individual, is capable of bringing it, when an exact correspondence is established between the whole of his abstract ideas and the things he has actually perceived for himself. His will mean that each of his abstract ideas rests, directly or indirectly, upon a basis of observation, which alone endows it with any real value; and also that he is able to place every observation he makes under the right abstract idea which belongs to it.
Arthur Schopenhauer

George Will
-
Every street has two sides, the shady side and the sunny. When two men shake hands and part, mark which of the two takes the sunny side; he will be the younger man of the two.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
In argument with men a woman ever Goes by the worse, whatever be her cause.
John Milton

O death where is thy sting? The man is never on time.
