“Many people claim coffee inspires them, but, as everybody knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring.”

It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

Noble hearts are neither jealous nor afraid because jealousy spells doubt and fear spells pettiness.

Women, when they have made a sheep of a man, always tell him that he is a lion with a will of iron.

Give to a wounded heart seclusion; consolation nor reason ever effected anything in such a case.

Want him to be more of a man? Try being more of a woman!

One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

Hope is a memory that desires, the memory is a memory that has enjoyed.

Hatred like love feeds on the merest trifles. Everything adds to it. Just as the being we love can do no wrong, so the one we hate can do no right.

Women are ever the dupes or the victims of their extreme sensitiveness.

A lover always thinks of his mistress first and himself second; with a husband it runs the other way.

All human power is a compound of time and patience.

Our greatest fears lie in anticipation.

At fifteen, neither beauty nor talent exist: a woman is all promise.

There is a cure for temptation. What? Yielding to it.

Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.

How natural it is to destroy what we cannot possess, to deny what we do not understand, and to insult what we envy!

My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

Those who have mastered etiquette, who are entirely, impeccably right, would seem to arrive at a point of exquisite dullness.

I keep hearing I’m a crazy party guy. I’m not. I’m boring. At least by party standards.

You can’t get bored of winning. You can win 10 games in a row but you keep the same will to snatch the 11th. You always need more.

There is one quality that characterizes all of us who deal with the sciences of the earth and its life – we are never bored.

For me, the opposite of happiness isn’t sadness but boredom.

Boredom is the biggest disease in the world, darling.
