Results from Cole's Quotables:

It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.: Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
It is not really difficult to construct a series of inferences, each dependent upon its predecessor and each simple in itself. If, after doing so, one simply knocks out all the central inferences and presents one's audience with the starting-point and the conclusion, one may produce a startling, though perhaps a meretricious, effect.: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930), Sherlock Holmes in "The Dancing Men"
Absence extinguishes small passions and increases great ones, as the wind blows out a candle, and blows in a fire.: De La Rochefoucauld.
A thousand cups of wine do not suffice when true friends meet, but half a sentence is too much when there is no meeting of minds.: Chinese proverb
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me; give me liberty or give me death!: Patrick Henry (1736 - 1799)

Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy.: Dean Koontz
Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.: Karl Menninger
You don't just luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it's friendships or opportunities.: Barbara Bush (1925 - )
