Age, Knowing, Bridges

Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except
wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the
grapes were good in the first place. ~ Abigail Van Buren

To know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody. ~ Quentin Crisp

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which
to burn. ~ David Russell

Value Yourself, Enemy, Self

Be courteous, be obliging, but don't give yourself over to be melted
down for the benefit of the tallow trade. ~ George Eliot

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he
uses to frighten you. ~ Eric Hoffer

We are each responsible for our own life - no other person is or even
can be. ~ Oprah Winfrey

Truth, Past, Money

The love of truth lies at the root of much humor.
~ Robertson Davies

When you understand that what you're telling is just a story. It isn't
happening anymore. When you realize the story you're telling is just
words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the
trashcan, then we'll figure out who you're going to be.
~ Chuck Palahniuk

The more you chase money, the harder it is to catch it.
~ Mike Tatum
