"You can’t sweep other people off their feet, if you can’t be swept off your own." ― Clarence Day Topic(s): Wisdom More From Clarence Day "Information’s pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience." "A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health." More In Wisdom "Dr. Johnson has said that the chief glory of a country arises from its authors. But then that is only as they are oracles of wisdom; unless they teach virtue, they are more worthy of a halter than of the laurel."― Jane Porter "The current total of countries in the world with First Amendments is one. You have guaranteed freedom of speech. Other countries don’t have that."― Neil Gaiman "The all-seeing eye of God beheld our deplorable state; infinite pity touched the heart of the Father of mercies; and infinite wisdom laid the plan of our recovery."― David Brainerd
