EVERYTHING HAS A LIMIT

 Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep,
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost.

Everything has its limit - iron ore cannot be educated into gold.
A man is never more truthful than when he acknowledges himself a liar.
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.Be careful about reading health books.
You may die of a misprint.
Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.
Familiarity breeds contempt - and children.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Kindness is the language
which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Man - a creature made at the end of the week's work when God was tired.
Name the greatest of all inventors. "Accident."
Noise proves nothing.
Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles
as if she laid an asteroid.
The first of April is the day we remember
what we are the other 364 days of the year.
The lack of money is the root of all evil.
The more things are forbidden,
the more popular they become.
There are basically two types of people.
People who accomplish things,
and people who claim to have accomplished things.
The first group is less crowded.
Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do.
Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
