"The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well." ― Horace Walpole Topic(s): Life More From Horace Walpole "By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense." "Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn’t. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is." "Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony." More In Life "There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures."― William Shakespeare "We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving."― Friedrich Nietzsche "The only rule is don’t be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in."― Paris Hilton
