...we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that pe...
Dogfish I wanted The past to go away, I wanted To leave it, like another country; I wanted My life to close, and open Like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song Where it falls Down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery; I wanted To hurr...
Tonight I saw Jesus with the eyes on my face. He looks half lion and half man. But not more like a lion and not more like a man, rather the same, I have never seen anything like the face of Jesus before, %100 one thing but %100 another thing: a lion ...

Borrowed wives, like borrowed books, are seldom returned.
Act like you are an idiot and everyone will respect you.
Life, like a fire, begins in smoke and ends in ashes.
Talent without skill is like a desert without an oasis.

Love is like a baby: it needs to be treated tenderly.
A kiss without a beard is like an egg without salt.
Woman without man is like a field without seed.
A country without freedom is like a prisoner with shackled hands.
A girl without a friend is like the spring without roses.
Friendship with the French is like their wine; exquisite but short lived.
To act in anger is like tying up a ship in a storm.
He who doesn't go to war roars like a lion.
